Once I received my Wasabi I was like a fat kid eating a donut. Happy as can be. I opened my package and realized that I didn’t receive the additional 4 stones that I ordered. So I gave it a few more days. I contacted customer care and they were Johnny on the spot. I took photos of what I had and the Bart next day they responded and stated that they would ship my stones ASAP. Super easy to set up and use. I highly recommend the Wasabi knife sharpener.

It would be really really nice to know the angle to sharpen stuff that's why mine hasn't been used.
Tim D.
Had a bad shipping experience and my sharpener was lost in shipment. The customer service I received getting a replacement sharpener was exceptional. Quality product and a great company to deal with giving A+++ service. Thanks again, Tim

For someone who for years have sharpened knives using wet stones this is quite the tool. It is faster and much more accurate and repetable.
It is also easier to use on some of the longer knives that I use.
I've already shown it to several of my friends and we took a suntoku blade which was very dull and brought it to its "base" shape then proceed to sharpen it.
It didvery well taking off the massive amounts of metal to even out the base shape.
I have already ordered some extra stones in anticipation of sharpening knives for some of my non-sharpening friends.

While it takes a bit to get it set up (watch the video and search online for the other questions you will have), it works pretty well and you can create a sharp edge with the included wet stones. I bought some of the higher grit stones as well, but didn't have oil on hand to further hone the blades. They are very sharp now and should become scary sharp once I use the additional stones.
The table I have it installed on doesn't have a lip on the bottom and I do worry it might slide off when rotating the knife. As such, I hold the base with one hand and rotate with the other. Can be a bit tricky with a chef's knife or larger, but isn't an issue with the smaller blades.
Overall, this puts an edge on the knives which is better than when they were new. Just sorry I wasted money on other kits, gadgets, etc prior to getting this.
Harry C.
Works wonderfully! Easier to use than the smaller sharpeners that I have. Very stable and very well built. Would definitely buy again if I needed another one!
Dennis L.
Maybe instructions explaining the way to get the angel better. I have another sharpener so I was able to finally figure it out. Have the stones marked better, after a while you do have a problem with a couple of the stones. It took me a little while to get to where I was getting a good edge. Now I find it much easier to use. I find it is good on full size knives rather than pocket knives. But over all it does the trick.
Steven P.
Took a minute to fuss with the angle for sharpening. I had to adjust the angle between a chef's knife and a paring knife. The black marker on the edge is a handy trick to be sure you're getting the proper angle. Also took a while to go from 800 to 1500 to 2000, etc., grit and develop a rhythm to handle the stones. In the end I found this sharpener to be quite excellent. By the time I sharpened my 4th knife, I had learned how to maximize my efficiency. GREAT sharpener.
David G.
Works as it should and my knives are as sharp as they guarantee.
Glenn F.
I really enjoy my knife sharpener works very well good quality workmanship and fast shipping I have told my friends about it hopefully they purchase one
Greg D.
It's everything it is advertised to do. Easy setup and simple to use. I have recommended it to several of my friends that are knife fanatics. I've used lansky in the past, but this tool is the bomb.
Alan S.
This item fulfills all the advertised capabilities admirably...
My treasured Miyabi knives are functioning at their optimum.
An excellent mechanism!
Thomas F.
The Iki Ruixin Pro™ Sharpener is very easy to use and set up
and love the final result when sharpening.
Amber B.
Excellent Sharpener. Does what it should!
Joseph V.
The tool it’s self and stone are great.
Now the storage of the tool and stones are beyond subpar. Especially for what was spent to obtain the tool and stones.
The extra stones came wrapped in bubble wrap.
ALL these stones should have a case that has a pocket for each stone.
Very disappointed in the total storage and safety
MARK T.
Consistant results of very sharp knives. Contacted for additional sharpening manual that is much better than what was included in the sharpener package.
Rick B.
Great customer service
Tobias N.
Great sharpening kit. Easy to set up, use, and clean, now every knife in the house is razor sharp. I enjoy using it so much that I brought it to work and had my team bring in their personal knives for me to sharpen. A definite must-have for every household!!
William R.
With the video it was easy to setup and use. A little difficult for pocket knives but it is manageable. The diamond stones are a plus.
Simon S.
Really happy with the purchase, easy to assemble and after a bit of practice notice a signficant difference in the sharpness of my knives. I wasn't using them on our kitchen knives yet, but instead on my fishing knives and they came up a treat. I worked through the various grades of stone and finished them off with a steel. i now have sharp knives everywhere, and it was very therapeutic getting them there due tot he rhythmical nature of the set up.
Emily A.
Took awhile in the mail but was to Australia so makes sense. Good product, nice quality.
John W.
Overall the Wasabi sharpener lived up to expectations. It has produced commendable results.
It took some time to master the device, due primarily to a paucity of instructions for use; eg. Care and use of stones etc.
My knives are significantly sharper with the use of the Wasabi sharpener.
Shane D.
Works well,happy with the support and product.
Michael S.
Quick shipping and item arrived well packed with all instructions. Sharpener has been a dream to use, plenty of videos online to guide.
Philip B.
So much better than just a stone. Well made and very easy to use.
William S.
I was able to quickly set this unit up for sharpening larger carving/prep knives. Be sure to have as much blade exposed as possible while still ensuring a firm grip on the blade. If you set the knife too far into the clamp, you will not be able to touch the blade with the stones. I have a digital angle gage for setting up my table saw that I used to set the blade angle. I sharpened a U.S. made knife to the Japanese knife angle of 15º. It took a while with the course stone to get it to that angle but the final result was an edge that has lasted longer and cuts finer.
My one suggestion for improvement would be to make the ball joint out of Delrin (TM) to make lubrication unnecessary and improve the smoothness of operation.
Susan S.
Works well, even on knives I thought were not salvageable.
Matt B.
A little fussy to set up the first time but well worth the effort. Easy to use and knives are now as sharp ad they were out if the box, if not sharper.
Gordon R.
Great sharpening system. Easy to maintain angle of your choice on blade. I added the finer grit set of three stones as well as the Diamond stones. You could sharpen a razor blade with these. I highly recommend this sharpening system if you want sharp knives.
Brad N.
I really enjoy using the sharpener it does well with keeping me on a specific angle. We went through the house and sharpened all the hunting knives and kitchen knives and it has been wonderful using them.
Adam M.
Never had a sharper knife after using this thing!
Chris K.
It's a learning curve for me because I se different way of sharpening knives, but solid good made product
Kip K.
Love it I wish I had gotten the diamond stones!
Rod K.
I had a problem with my original purchase, they fully replaced everything. Great customer service.
Wayne B.
well made . The diamond hones are better / more durable. Fast shipping . Satisfied with product . Thanks
R. Charles P.
I love this devise, it keeps the perfect angle of sharpening every time. Easy to set up and operate. My knives have never been so sharp!
doug h.
Great and easy to use sharpener. Only used a few times so far but seems to do a great job!!
David S.
I am very happy with the sharpening set up, it works really well. And, saves time and money having to take my knives in to a shop to be sharpened.
Timothy B.
The device was easily assembled and easy to operate, so high marks there. I did have trouble following the instructions for setting up a sharpening angle, and I'm still not sure I have it right since the author of the instruction booklet changes terminology as the instructions progress. To compound the problem I can find nothing in the booklet that tells me what sharpening angle to use. Two suggestions: 1) improve the instruction manual; and 2) don't send inferior whetstones. I was dismayed that the 320 grit whetstone that came with the device disintegrated after about 20 strokes. The grit came off the plastic backing. Before using it, I wet it as instructed. The other three whetstones are fine. I am sending you a picture by e-mail of what's left of the 320 grit whetstone so you can make your quality control person aware of this defect. If you are interested, I can send you the stone in the photograph.
Anthony S.
The sharpener is made pretty well but the stones that come with it are junk. The stones fall apart when you use them. I will be looking for some better stones in the future. I also so ordered the diamond stone set at the same time while they are better I would just use that money to purchase better stones.
Clayton B.
A great sharpener! Well made, excellent fit and finish. But to get that super-sharp, paper shredding, wafer-thin tomato slicing results, you will need to buy additional stones with finer grit. The “stock” stones won’t get you there. Plus, there are very fragile - a drop from even a lot height broke one of mine. You should label the grit number on the back of them, as the markings wear off the front right away.
Peter M.
As an individual who lost his dominant arm 15 years ago, keeping my knives razor sharp has been a huge pain in the ass! Over use issues with my only hand has also caused major issues keeping my blades at the correct angle. I have nearly had a sharp edge and the next swipe, I have to start over again. Wasabi has made my sharpening life a dream!
Sally S.
Christmas gift for my son. Only thing he asked for besides money!!
Forrest L.
The Wasabi knife sharpening setup is excellent! It takes a bit of work to setup, and depending on how many knives you have, it will take a while to sharpen all of them with all 3 stones, but it is worth every penny. I hadn't really sharpened my knives before so they were very dull, and after getting it setup, using it was pretty intuitive. All of my knives are crazy sharp now, and I regularly cut incredibly thin slices of things just to show it off!
Lewis W.
This is a great sharpener for kitchen knives. It takes a bit of time to set up, especially on the first use, but once it's ready you can sharpen multiple kitchen knives to a razor edge in just a few minutes. I don't think the design mechanism would be as good for smaller folding knives, for hunting/camping knives with a considerably curved edge, or for very thick blades, but I haven't attempted any of these.
Dennis S.
Very complicated process when you're first trying it out. Once it's set up it does a great job.
Kevin C.
Overall the product works if you follow the instructions. My knives are significantly sharper after the first attempt and I’m sure they will be razor sharp with some more practice. I really dislike one flaw being that the Teflon ball can easily get stuck preventing a smooth complete pass and unfortunately this happened to me quite often. Fixing this issue will dramatically increase the ease of use.
Bill R.
Best sharpener I’ve ever used. Easy to get a sharp edge.
Shane M.
I surprised my son this this sharpener. He loves it. I would recommend this tool to anyone wishing to keep the knifes they have very sharp!
Mark S.
Easy to use put a great edge on the kitchen knives
Surratt M.
It works great! Thank you!
Thomas N.
I loved everything about the sharpening system except for the stones. They seemed exceptionally soft compared to sharpening stones I've used before. Otherwise, simple straight forward sharpening system for consistent results.
Elaine C.
I was excited when this arrived as the video I watched looked amazing. The assembly is fairly simple, but I wouldn't say it's a slam-dunk. As recommended, I started with an old stainless-steel knife I had used in years as it had to be sharpened all the time. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to get into the proper rhythm required to produce an edge. I then went on to work on my usual knives. It really doesn't take much time and is not difficult at all once you get into the rhythm.
LEE F.
The first time I used this set I used it on the edge of my desk. It had a rounded top edge and it was not steady. I only did one knife and was impressed with the results. The second time I used it was on a table with a 3/4 inch square edge; much more stable and the results were much better. It took a few tries to get used to changing the stones but by the second knife it was like I had been doing it forever! I did all four of the knives we use daily and was more than satisfied. Could not be happier with the results!
Randy L.
This unit was easy to set up and made our knives sharp as a razor. My wife is enjoying her kitchen knives again.
Thanks
Michael K.
This Sharpener is amazing! Best I have Ever had I own allot of knives and sharpeners.
Teodoro S.
So far the product works as described. The material is of fine quality
Jacob S.
Works great. No issues. Exactly what I was looking for.
Glenn M.
My knives are sharper than they have been in a long time. This sharpener is great!
Anthony Q.
Just received the 3 high grit wet stones & leather strap and it was really worth it. I got my knives somewhat sharp with the original kit but these put the icing on the cake
Jeff A.
Holy cow, it works!!
Richard S.
It is a clever setup and makes sharpening easy and accurate.
Douglas S.
Fantastic knife sharpener.
Works better than expected. I will recommend to all my friends.
Bob K.
Wow. Forgot how enjoyable it is to use a really sharp knife. Took a few knifes to get the feel and setup for different knife shapes. Two of my stones were chipped and cracked in shipping. A quick email and replacements were on the way.
David D.
Customer service is just as excellent as the product. Upon receipt of my Ruixin Pro knife sharpener, one of the wet stones was cracked and the pivot ball assembly was missing a screw. I emailed customer service. They requested a photo of the part to ensure that they would be able to replace the correct part. My replacement parts arrived quickly. The Ruixin Pro knife sharpener works as good as advertised. I am a VERY satisfied customer!
Ronald O.
I now have knives that are sharp.
Joseph C.
Works like it should!
Kevin S.
I bought the diamond stones in addition to the stones that came with it. Good thing I did bc the 320 stone fell out of the mount and broke. After I got it all figured out it was awesome. It put the most beautiful and extremely sharp edge on my knife. If you’re looking for an awesome knife sharpener… look no further.
Brian H.
Very easy to use. Setup is a little hard with no directions, but was able to look online and figure it out. Different degrees or pitches for knifes chart would be a great bonus.
Wendell T.
Awesome. Puts an edge on any knife
Eugene A.
Love this sharpener it works just like they say it will. Im not good at sharpening at all this so easy and the edge i get is awesome.
Bob N.
Love it! I’ve sharpened every knife in my house.
James S.
It would have been nice if yall would supply the app for the angle degree. I have only sharpened one knife so far.
Charles P.
Works exactly as advertised.......just get the angle right and you'll have a razor sharp knife in about 5 minutes.
Matthew M.
I have been looking for a easy way to sharpen my kitchen knives. I kept seeing the ads for this system and decided I was going to take a chance and try it out. Seeing is believing! This system is for real! It sharpened my knives razor sharp. When the kit arrived one of the stones had been damaged during shipping. I contacted customer service and was taken care of with minimal effort! They shipped me not only the replacement broken stone BUT A WHOLE NEW SET OF STONES! Customer service at its finest. I would recommend this sharpening system and Wasabi knives to anyone looking for something that actually works.
Sidney J.
A well constructed device to efficiently and effectively sharpen any instrument used in cutting.
Easy to set up and use.
Christopher L.
From ordering to receiving the product, everything was simple and fast. Before it arrived, I received an e-mail video of how to use the sharpening system. That made things extremely easy and the result was true to Wasabi’s word!! My knives have never been more consistently sharp!!!
Eugenio A.
Just wow! At first it looks complicated but it is so easy and quick! My only regret is that I didn't buy it sooner. It sharpens my knives in no time.
William W.
Upon visiting a friend recently, he showed me this product and I was impressed. When I got home I ordered this one and I am very pleased with it.
James H.
I don’t know what I ever did without this genius device! Just be sure to check the angle when flipping your blade over. Very satisfied!!
Keith H.
This sharpener is great for larger sized knives. Is a challenge for pocket knives. Diamond wet stones are a definite upgrade for easier sharpening.
james f.
I’ve been sharpening my quiver if Miyabi and Shun knives with wet stones by hand - then bought the Wasabi- quicker, exact, built confidence and I sharpen more often! Game changer thanks a tin
William P.
Works very well and easy to use. The angle shaft could be a better piece by making it a screw for easier and more precise adjustment plus the knife clamp needs to be just a bit better for proper angle when flipped side to side
Wayne C.
I love the sharpener. The only thing I would consider changing would be the set screw that holds the rotating ball part of the fixture keeps allowing the ball fixture rotate on the support rod and also allows the fixture to slide up changing the sharpening angle. The set screw for that fixture is a knurled thumb nut and I can't get it tight enough with my fingers to alleviate the above problem. I currently have to use pliers to get it tight enough to keep it from moving. I would suggest maybe using a wing nut so that you can tighten it by hand. Other than that, I think it is a great sharpening tool.
Matthew L.
Works as expected. Shipment was fast love my new sharpener
Butch L.
I've used it twice. Sharpens knives very well. Seems to be well made.
No issues so far.
Earl V.
After reviewing video on YouTube, the setup was easy, and the consistent edge makes for a sharp knife.
connie b.
my husband really likes this knife sharpener set. y’all fixed the problem with the broken wet stones really fast. we will definitely recommend y’all to others.
Thomas P.
This thing works!!!!! Customer service is excellent...if you do NOT want a sharp knife do NOT get this sharper....
I like my knifes to cut 3 ways..
Long..Deep..and Continuously...
I now add a 4th......Easily....
Just an old former Compact Marine Vet who likes a REALLY
Sharp knife....✌
Jasmine C.
Got it as a present for a friend, he loves it
John L.
I was very excited to receive this and when I did I was pleased with it. Met my expectations. Would recommend.
Peter L.
The best knife sharpener I’ve ever used - it’s precise, accurate and repeatable. The construction is more robust than I was expecting and changing the stones is a breeze. I took their advice and practiced my technique on an unimportant knife and within a few minutes I was ready to attack my Japanese kitchen knives and then my garden shears and other edged tools - even though each one required a different angle they all had a precise and polished edge.
Easy to achieve outstanding results
Great product
Highly recommended
Howard G.
Bought one and received one for Xmas. Have not used it yet. Is one returnable
Alexis B.
Easy setup and the different stones you get are awesome! Nice variety to choose from.
