Smith’s 50000 V-Slot Knife & Scissor Sharpener – Straight Blade Sharpening - Large Scissors & Shear Sharpening Slots – Kitchen Tool - Soft Grip Handle – Comfortable Grip

Review for: 'KitchenIQ 50000 V-Slot 10-Second Knife and Scissors Sharpener'I bought this more out of curiosity than anything else as I had a few pair a scissors around the house and garage that were so bad they were headed for the trash. I was pleasantly surprised when this sharpener restored them to a useful state - not like new but usable so in that regard I got my monies worth. It's been noted in other reviews that the stone is not replaceable so there's some planned obsolescence in the design but at this price point that's probably OK.HOWEVER, as a knife sharpener it's less than useless. On every knife I attempted to sharpen the cutting edge ended up worse than when I started - and that is not an exaggeration. Using the bottom of a coffee mug I am able to get a better edge in 1 minute than working for 5 minutes with this thing.Bottom line - if you're looking for something inexpensive that will do a decent job on household scissors this will work for you. If you want a combination tool for both scissors and knives look for something else.

Who doesn't wish their scissors were sharper? This is the fix. Now all my scissors are sharp, and will remain so.GOOD POINTS:-- The angle of the sharpening stone to the scissors blade is fixed, so you never make a mistake.-- The stone is pretty good, so you gently draw the scissors over it repeatedly and get great results.-- You can open them wide to get almost all the way to the hinge, and by slightly compressing them, you can sharpen both blades evenly.DRAWBACKS:-- You can't remove the stone, so as it wears, the tool becomes useless. But I may not live that long, so it's a small problem. Plus, the thing's only, like, 6 or 7 bucks. Still, it would be nice if the stone slot were capped by, say, a setscrew, so you could change stones.-- This is built for a right-hander sharpening right-hand scissors, or vice-versa. It's just a bit klutzy when your preferred hand does not match the parity of the scissors. But this is also minor.I looked at 20 different sharpeners. Pound for pound and dollar for dollar, this rocks! [even on paper! - rocks/scissors/paper :-) ]

It's a joy to have a sharp scissors again - in fact, I ended up sharpening every scissor in the house and every time I use one, I'm amazed at the difference. I did swipe every scissor I sharpened at least 10 times and often more but I'm not sure that was necessary. It is easy to use, easy to hold, and designed in such a way that I can't imagine how I could do it wrong.The most delightful part so far is that I sharpened the scissor we use for everything - cutting paper, plastic package wrapping (the frustrating kind is no longer frustrating), opening boxes - it the "go to scissor". I've been using it for over a week, many times a day, and it is staying sharp. This has impressed me.I've not used the device to sharpen my good cutlery and probably never will but it is excellent for scissors and very inexpensive relative to performance.

I am a mechanical engineer. I looked at a bunch of units online. The quality of the unit was good for the price and the instruction were easy to read and follow.I liked one of the reviews here noting this class of sharpener is not re-edging but honing. That explained a bunch of what was going on with these vs the more expensive grinders. I think it is worth noting that you can only grind so many times before wearing out the blade (while Honing can be done much more often), and that Honing would appear to not work on a notched blade.Anyway - I tried these on some short bladed pruners and a some expensive sewing scissors. The wife is very happy with both results and pronounced them both "much better". Anechdotal evidence at best, but if she's happy, I'm happy.

I thought I would try this product based on the reviews and also after finding out the cost of having them "professionally" sharpened. My husband has sharpened two of my hair scissors so far and they cut just like new. Our hair (daughter and I) came out so blunt and Precisioned. I am so glad that I have something to sharpen my scissors without me having to go out and spend additional money on new scissors.

This Edgeware V-Slot Knife and Scissors Sharpener is so easy to use and I am so glad I chose this particular sharpener! As usual, the order arrived within a day or so after I placed the order, was packaged well, and it works. Within a half-hour after the sharpener was delivered, I read the brief but well written instructions, layed out every pair of scissors and set of knives we own and in what seemed like no time at all had them all sharpened. I would recommend this Edgeware V-Slot Sharpener if you are looking for a product that does a fast, easy, and great job of sharpening knives and scissors.

I purchased this sharpner due to a great review on this sharpner within the amazon site. A gentle took a great deal of time researching this product and this met my needs. I do not know how long it will last but so far I have brought 9 pairs of haircutting scissors back to life and 6 around the house scissors. It works well on knives too. I would recommend pulling up this products reviews and find the review I speak of above. There are some knives you may not want to use this sharpner for. I needed something simple and cheap and it has performed wonderfully.

The Edgeware V-slot sharpener puts a decent edge on dull blades.It's difficult to add more to my review, because my only otherexperience is with electric sharpeners. As a manual sharpener,the product does a pretty good job. It's a real bargain for theprice, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a simple,easy-to-use manual sharpener.

A good knife sharpener and seems to work ok on scissors as well, However there is even a better way to sharpen scissors I bet most of you didn't know? Role up a small ball of 'tin foil' and rub that along the scissor blades, you'd be surprised at how well that works.

Funciona bien para cuchillos y tijeras, solo que el de las tijeras es algo más complicado.

Está bien afila las tijeras pero no tanto como yo necesitaba

Funciona bien, cumple sunproposito. Solo hay que saber usarlo.

So lo afiló, pero no la punta. Si uno no tiene otra opción, que lo compre, ya que el precio no es elevado.
