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

Truly a great price kit, allowing a novice like my self to restore my camping knife to its former glory, and several kitchen knives also. I would recommend either screw or clamp down to a bench before use for safety.

love it, few ad ons and knifes are sharp as hell

It's well machined and works well, mine has minor stuffs on one of the clamps but they're likely to get scuffed in use anyway, everything was tight and fairly well adjusted with only a slight issue with the locking lever of the blade flipping mechanism being very hard to open and close, the grub screw holding the clamp mount was left a little loose to allow the locking lever to be able to open and close but it takes careful adjustment to get the tension right so it's both usable and keeps the clamp rattle free, this grub screw being loose isn't ideal but may be a good thing as long as the thread isn't damaged by the grub screw being loose as it allows the tension to be adjusted to compensate for inevitable wear on the locking lever after a lot of use, I might swap out the grub screw for a longer one to engage more of the thread in the aluminium to minimise the risk of damage, the system is very easy to setup and use and allows for easy stone thickness compensation and seems to maintain the shapening angle when the blade is flipped perfectly, the clamp setup allows for a wide range of blade sizes to be sharpened with enough clearance to allow for lower angles to be achievedIt's a very sturdy setup and should last a long time, a little dry lubricant in the pivot ball and on the sliding rod helps reduce friction and should further extend it's working life and with the way it's built it should last a very long time even with heavy useAt a fraction of the cost of anything comparable to it's level of accuracy and construction I'd say it's a very good setup for the price, from what I've seen of other sharpening systems and reviews from others with more experience than myself it's well worth the investment

Worked really well with a little clean and lube up.

I have had a couple of knife setting sharpers off Amazon bit this one which is a copy of the expensive Russian systemI find this one is easy to set up and does not move once set. My only grumble is that it only comes with three diamond sharpening stones. I have now bought a set off Ebay from 280 grit to 2000 grit.I use it to sharpen my expensive penknives as well as my Kitchen knives.

Very pleased. Need a digital level box to be able to repeat angles, but most users will have one anyway.
