Question 1

Will this sharpener bring my knife back to factory edge not just a micro beveled edge?

Accepted Answer

The coarse sharpening step (pull through tip down) will cut a factory edge on the blade from 12 degrees (press down lightly) to 20 degrees (press hard). After this sharpening the edge can be maintained by honing (pull through tip up)

Question 2

Is this the same sharpening mechanism as the professional version except for the stainless steel body?

Accepted Answer

The sharpener is functionally identical to the stainless steel professional model. It has flawlessly sharpend my dual bevel Damascus steel knives. Save 50 or more dollars and purchase the HD nylon version.

Question 4

The amazon listing for the Brod and Taylor (stainless & plastic) sell for $18, and then the next vendor has it for $100. The $18 is legit?

Accepted Answer

All the low price listings of the Brod & Taylor Professional knife sharpener are not the legitimate authentic product. Notice that almost all are shipping from China. These sellers are actually shipping a cheap plastic knock-off product. Apologies to all the customers that have purchased from these sellers thinking they are going to receive a solid stainless steel sharpener with Austrian tungsten carbide. They will all be very disappointed. Returning products to China will not be easy. We have tried repeatedly to get Amazon to take action against these sellers, but so ar they refuse to help. We encourage everyone to complain loudly to Amazon about this. Amazon says that a great customer experience is their number one mission. Allowing all these seller to ship fake products to customers is going to make many people very angry. You CAN buy the authentic product on Amazon from the seller: BROD & TAYLOR. Same is true for the Classic model (black nylon base). Buy from BROD & TAYLOR to get the authentic Austrian tungsten carbide.
