DOES A REALLY GREAT JOB ON ALMOST ALL OF OUR KNIVES - NOT SERRATED BLADES!

One of the main reasons we purchased this over other knife sharpeners was to sharpen some very old serrated blades and scissors. Scissors need to be taken apart to really sharpen them correctly, so not all can be taken apart and sharpened properly.  Serrated blades can only be "sharpened" in the last section and even then you have to be very careful or you remove the serrations!  THIS IS THE REASON FOR ONLY 4 STARS!

For any, and I do mean ANY other knife, this is THE MACHINE!  You will be able to sharpen any blade from steak knives to cleavers.  I have Zwilling J.A. Henckels Four Star knives and the meat cleaver. This sharpener has restored the edge on all of them; yes, including the meat cleaver!  After owning this set for over 40 years, it had gotten duller and duller, my feeble efforts to sharpen the set were not adequate until now!

I would love to give the set 5 stars, but it does not live up to its own hype.  So, 4 stars it is!
