XARILK GEN3 Guided Knife Sharpening System, Aluminium | Professional knife sharpener, Knife Sharpening Kit W / 3 Al Plates Diamond (320#, 800#, 2000#) for For Hunting & Kitchen Knives

Product quality and workmanship is good .

This is my first fixed-angle sharpener, though I’m not new to sharpening. I have a WorkSharp Ken Onion blade grinder and a bunch of diamond stones for freehand sharpening. This system allows you to achieve extremely sharp edges, sharper than I’ve managed with other systems, with a minimal learning curve. It’s not without its flaws as a fixed system, but if you want sharp knives, pair it with some high-quality diamond stones, and you’re set. There are a couple of things I wish were included and offered as a package deal: 1) The angle is infinitely adjustable within its design limits, which is cool, but I doubt most of us care to sharpen to 15.26 degrees. In addition to the adjustable angles, I wish there was a detent system or some way to repeatedly lock into common angles (10, 13, 15, 17, 20, etc.) without needing a digital angle meter. I also think they should offer a complete package ready to go out of the box, including more stones, a digital angle meter, a strop, rod stops, and their new center Y clamp. (Speaking of the center clamp, if you’re doing pocket knives, do yourself a favor and get it ASAP.) That would really make this system 100% ready to go right out of the box. Speaking of stones, I can’t compare them to other stones for fixed-angle sharpeners, but they have worked well enough so far on 8 different knives, all of which are 20CV, M390, and M4. The only minor gripe I have with this item is that a couple of the screws needed adjusting (flip mechanism and angle clamp), which was extremely simple, which is why it’s a gripe. If it’s so simple to fix, why couldn’t it have been done at the factory? But once again, it was very simple and didn’t require any special tools to adjust to my liking. Overall, as I mentioned above, I think this is a great system if you add some higher-quality stones. I’m not really sure what a more expensive sharpener would buy you. I forgot to mention that I had a small issue with the regular clamps that came with it, and Xarilk was extremely responsive and shipped me new clamps. It took a couple of weeks to get, but they took care of me right away.

Il prodotto presenta almeno due problemi importanti. Il primo è che affila con due angoli nettamente differenti i due lati del coltello. Il secondo è che l'asta dopo una decina di minuti smette di scorrere in maniera fluida rendendolo di fatto temporaneamente inutilizzabile. Con un po' di pazienza e spirito di adattamento si riesce comunque ad ottenere un filo fantastico ma non è un prodotto che funziona "così com'è". Le pietre in dotazione non durano molto ma uno dei lati positivi è la compatibilità con molte pietre di diverse marche e di ogni qualità. Diciamo che è una base buona ma bisogna lavorarci un po' su. E l'avevo previsto leggendo le varie recensioni, ma è peggio di quello che pensavo.

This seller and company are great , great costumer service , great communication . I recommended them 1000% Update, I’ll leave my original rating below, I had some issues with the sharpener , seller or manufacturer to be more specific got in contact with me, he show me a option to fix my issue , something that they don’t mention or the instructions don’t mention is this little machine has a few different way to tune it, I adjusted the two screws at the back of the unit to stop it from changing the angle everytime I lock the angle knob, I like that I can adjust the machine to my needs this thing is so smooth that you can actually change the angle by hand or with the knob but one you lock the angle it does not move, if you have any issues contact the seller or you could try adjusting the machine yourself if you are really handy. I already sharpen a few of my kitchen knives and a spyderco folding knife . What I like from this unit is that I can use different type of stones, from cheap stones to really expensive stones. I also like that I don’t need to clamp or secure the machine to a table to use it, it didn’t fall forward when I was sharpening my kitchen knives . I have another similar system but it needs to be clamp to the edge of the table, now I can seat in my living room and sharpen my knives. Hopefully the manufacture releases other clamps to use with different knife sizes. Overall yea I do recommend this sharpener , I would buy another one if I needed it to and now I know how to adjust it or tune it to my needs. Thanks to the seller for contacting me. Please discard the review below but I will leave it in case somebody else goes through the same, contact the seller they will help you out I’m a little disappointed with this machine, it is nice, looks well made but but when I chose the angle I want, the locking latch changes the angle by 1.5 degrees , that’s a lot because it’s changing my angle from 20° to 21.5° and even 22°, for those who already have leave the angle finder on top of the blade holder and you will see the change in angle, to use at 20° I had to leave the able 1.5 to 2° lower so when I lock it I will got to the angle I wanted. That’s a little annoying to be honest, is there away to fix it or should I return it ? Hopefully I get an answer from the seller and I will have to return this sharpener
