The Knife Life Sharpener is for both right and left handed use.

This sharpener works extremely well on all my knives and is very easy to use. It does not require that you maintain a twenty degree angle - it does it for you. Also it doesn't require oil or water. You just swipe the blade through a few times and that's it. It's truly perfect.
It Really Works ! February 15, 2007

I have been using honing stone and I am also proud for being able to sharpen all my knives with the stone (except for the serrated ones). Then I gave this thing a try and wow ! it works, consistently and with ease. When using a honing stone, it is hard to maintain the correct edge angle, and this device takes the guess work out. A friend of mine thinks his buck knife is sharp until he reset the edge with Wustof's stage 1 carbide edger and then hone it with the stage 2 ceramic sharpener. Then he was surprised with how his "new" knife shred paper like razor. Then we tried with the scissors and learned that the specially shaped slot should prevent one from inserting the scissors in a wrong way (right handed vs. left handed scissors). Quality is great. Comes with non-slip padding on the grip as well as several other sides so you can grip it and hold in down on the counter top in several positions/ways steadily.
Downside is that it is a bit pricey. There are cheaper ones out there which I believe would work similarly but would probably lack the little quality touches here and there.

I just needed some help on my knives. I've been using only a steel on my knives for the past few years and they were getting a bit dull. They were still cutting but I couldn't feel the edge by running my fingers across the edge. After a few minutes with each knife the edges on them are very good again. I manage a grocery store and I use the meat department manager's knives as my standard. This sharpener gets very close when comparing the feel of his knives to mines.
Great addition to my kitchen December 12, 2006

I cook a lot and appreciate good tools. I've invested in some pretty decent knives over the years and have either sharpened them by hand, taken them somewhere or lived with them duller than I would like. I don't know how I went so long without this. For the money it's a great addition to my kitchen. My 10" chef's knife is back to new after just a few swipes.

Wow, this thing gets my knives wicked sharp. The coarse carbide side cuts a perfect bevel, and the ceramic rods finish the blade to a nice even edge. Patience and a consistent even hand while sharpening will be rewarded.
