Knife Sharpeners

I bought one of these 30 odd years ago. Still use it. Puts a fine edge on knives and scissors.

Try the Rada sharpener. It's great for a quick workup on a kitchen knife.
So is mine. Once it goes through with no resistance it’s sharp as hell. Used it for years. Might buy a Rada just out of respect for their products. I seem to have lost my tomato knife, but still have my Rada grapefruit.

I just wonder if the home cook is going to be able to discern any difference between 100 and 230. My suspicion is I would notice very little difference.
Some of those sharpeners take considerable time and setup. With mine I can sharpen a knife in under 20 seconds.

I'm on my second iteration of this one:

$10.88, 21K stars, 4.5 ratings. It works fine for me, but I don't know how fine "fine" is for foodie cooks.
No setup, no fuss. I stash it in the container of oft-used tools I keep close by; take it out, slip it onto my hand properly, and like Mik said, 20 seconds.

Rada makes great stuff. I’ve used some of their knives for years. Their tomato knife is a favorite. For a sharpener I use an Henkels passthrough. Does great.

Do those work for both serrated and straight?

Never tried a serrated.
