Customer Review: Furi Knife sharpening system
Summary: 5 Stars
Have not used this yet. Son told me about using a steel to sharpen the blade of the Furi 7" knife. It worked. But I hav confidence that the Fure system is the best. CarolCustomer Review: foolproof sharpening
Summary: 5 Stars
After manually sharpening knives for many years, it is rather embarrasing to admit that this clever system does a much better job than I have ever achieved manually.Customer Review: Works well on my good knives
Summary: 5 Stars
The sharpening system works very well on my good knives and even made my mediocre knives much better. It is expensive but good quality.Customer Review: Does the Job
Summary: 5 Stars
Sharpens very well and extremely easy to use. I keep it on counter to use every time I use a knife.Customer Review: Furi Pro Knife Sharpener
Summary: 4 Stars
I am a confirmed sharp knife-aloholic and have experimented with nearly every tool to keep a razor sharp edge on all the knives in my collection. The things I look for in a sharpener in order of priority are:
1. ease of use
2. will it maintain the proper angle without requiring an apprenticeship?
3. will it consistantly produce a razor sharp edge from heel to toe?
4. can it go from dull to razor sharp?
5. can I change angles for specialty knives?
6. overall system design including packaging.
I have never seen a 5 star yet and maybe that system can never be built. I found a Furi to be relatively intuitive to use and easy to switch from one phase to the next.
Unlike a previous reviewer, I had no problem using the system and found that the diamon 'finger' design maintained the correct sharpening angle for both my 22.5 degree and 15 degree knives.(I still have not tried it on cleavers or hunting knives)
Overall sharpening abiliity was much better than the average sharpener with only minor discrepancies(rollovers) along the blade length (which may be operator error). The system did well transforming dull knives to sharp. I have never been a real fan of diamond coated syatems and still fell that a real 'razor' finish on specialy knives(like fine Japanese knives)requires a ceramic touch up.
Overall system design appears well thought out with the exception of the carrying case which is made of cheap plastic and is almost useless for convenient storage. Considering the cost, they could have come up with a much better design.
I will definitely keep the Furi system and find it to be the best sharpener available on the market considering the above criteria.
