I feel like knife sharpening has always been a mystery to me because I felt like if I did myself I would ruin the blade… (remember my mom ruining a knife and my daddy saying to let him sharpen the knives from now on blah blah blah). HOWEVER, if you are reaching the adult age where you want to start sharpening your own, THIS is the sharpener. It is completely dummy proof and if I can do it, you can too! I just started purchasing expensive knives (one at a time because holy smokes that stuff is EXPENSIVE) and I used it for the first time last night and my brother who is a knife pro was AMAZED at how amazing this works.
Anna Williams –
The fact that it adjusts The Cutting angle to match every blade from every kind of knife in both my house and my toolbox.. Someone should have thought of this a long time ago. The old method did a good job but it took a long time to get the desired result. Manually setting up the old device to sharpen the particular angle of each blade was an aggrivation. I used to have a device where I would have to measure the angle of the blade and then fumble with little thumb screws to get it set up. The negative of the Bavarian Edge is its weight. It feels like lightweight plastic- flimsy. It should be made out of a beefier material to give it some more of its own weight and feeling of stability

I love this sharpener. I’ve tried all sorts of different ones and this one seems to work better than most and very inexpensive compared to some that don’t work any better. I sharpened all of my knives in my knife block and a few of the others I had in my utility drawer. I gave it to my daughter and she did the same and was extremely happy. It’s simple to use and works great you can ask for anything more. Now I just wish I had better knifes that would stay sharp longer.If you tried you’ll like it, DougPS: of course if you buy it from Amazon you can always send it back and buy more expensive one or just put up with yours dull knives.

I bought this for my son and he said it is the best knife sharpener he has ever seen. He has sharpened all of his knives and he says they cut so well that he was able to cut a piece of paper just by running the knife along side it. He calls it the Beast and he grills all the time and he loves this knife sharpener. I believe it’s the best on the market and I got it cheaper through Amazon than the first one that I bought from the TV advertisement. I gave the first one to my son-in-law and he loved the knife sharpener as well so I bought another one but this time through Amazon and saved money and got a great product

I got this for my mother in law. She’s been looking for one and it got good reviews. I put it to the test immediately and was amazed at the awesome job it does. Sharpened the knives quickly and was easy to use!! It’s a great item to have!!
Sarah Martinez –
I never have a dull knife and it’s so easy to use!! I wish it would’ve had suction cups on the bottom to hold it in place better it moves a lot when you sharpen!
Mike Miller –
Best gadget ever!! This work exactly as it is shown five stars👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Jessica Hernandez –
I’ve hand sharpened all of my knives on stones as well as used automatic sharpeners, but this sharpener is even better than automatic ones. Just be careful to not take too much metal off the blade. A version of this sharpener is at my downtown store for $100 – I bought it and then saw this one online for much less. Curious to see if it worked as well, I bought it as a gift for my mother and sure enough, it works just as well as my $100 sharpener that looks the same but is a different brand. I’m quite pleased with the purchase as is my mother. She didn’t even use the new knives I got her but merely sharpened her old ones with this tool. Highly recommend.
Mark Jones –
I bought this sharpener to replace the exact same one that my family already had. We’ve used it for years and loved it, though it finally needed to be replaced. For anyone who wants a sharpener that is easy to use, works quickly, and is very effective, this is it. I’ve tried a number of sharpeners, and this is easily the best I’ve ever used.
Daniel Smith –
This sharpens all my kitchen knives and even a few pocket knives! Super easy to use and is a good size for storage.
Jessica Davis –
I was scared to quit first but a relative turn me on to this product saying that it was very easy to use and that once you got your current knife blades adjusted to the angles of the sharpener that they would easily sharpen and that the speed at which you reach a very fine edge is phenomenal. It is true that you have to get your current blades sharpen down to meet the angles of the sharpener but once you do so you will have a very precise sharpened blade that is extremely sharp. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another.

As a quick touch-up tool, this thing is great. It very quickly and easily sharpened our knives that were in need of just a little maintenance. Knives that had been neglected required significantly more work, and it was hard to determine when to switch from tip-down coarse sharpening to tip-up fine sharpening. But it DID work and brought all of our big knives sharp enough to shave with within 20 minutes.They didn’t cheap out either. The base is heavy to help with stability and all the components are hearty.And the packaging design is the best I have ever seen. It’s something you’ll interact with for less than 10 seconds, but it’s clear they put a lot of thought into it. You pull one perforated panel and then lift the sharpener out. There’s nothing wasted. No packaging to move out of the way, gather up or throw away. Just the shell with the labels, the sharpener and the manual. These guys are doing it right!

My dad said the most dangerous knife is a dull knife. Well now my knives are nice and sharp!
Anna Garcia –
I never expected an “As seen on tv” sharpener to work as advertised; it does! I inherited a few carbon steel blade butcher knives that were in need of some TLC. After removing the rust, the blades needed sharpened. I used this device and each blade will now slice paper impressive.

I’m not sure why there are any negative reviews on this product. I decided to ignore them and purchase this sharpener, because it only costs about $16. I have only recently been passionate about knives and wanted to keep my new kitchen knives sharp. I purchased a couple of different knife sharpeners, but wasn’t satisfied. I watched a bunch of YouTube videos on whetstones and decided to purchase them. However, I am not a pro at sharpening, but the whetstones sharpened better than the other sharpeners I purchased.I saw a commercial on this Bavarian sharpener on Facebook, and after much internal debate, decided to buy it. I did not debate over the price. I debated over the disappointment I would feel if it didn’t work.This sharpener works better than the whetstones I tried to use. Keep in mind that I’m not a professional whetstone sharpener. I’m a novice. Before I sharpened my eight knives, I performed a paper cut test in front of my wife and son. After sharpening with the Bavarian sharpener, I cut the paper like I was using a razor.This works. And it’s well worth the purchase.
Anna Jones –
This knife sharpener works fantastic in my opinion. It will take a somewhat sharp knife to razor sharp real quick. I’ve even used it on my sword with good results. For the price you can’t beat it. Definitely happy with Bavarian Edge . Would recommend it to anyone.
Jessica Brown –
This contraption gave new life to my drawerful of dull knives!!! My knives had gone quite dull and I was tired of buying new knives that let me down and sharpeners that also let me down. “What do I have to lose? I’ve paid more for other sharpeners. Might as well try it,” I told myself. I was quite the skeptic at first. But once I started going at it with my chef’s knife I was convinced! Now my steak knives can actually cut steaks! My chef’s knives that would squish the heck out of a tomato before penetrating the skin slice through that tomato with hardly any downward pressure!!! Periodic passes through this sharpener keeps my blades fresh. I am beyond happy with this purchase!
Jessica Jones –
Nice knife sharpener, use it on all kitchen knifes, leave a sharp edge
Jessica Garcia –
No shame in that. most people just can’t sharpen a knife. No? well look at their junk drawer full of some pretty nice knives that are too dull to be useful anymore. Or look at the knife they are using that looks like they sharpened it on the sidewalk curb.Sharpening knives is just not a skill they want to spend the time to learn.. but everyone needs a sharp knife.ANYONE can use this. The most dull and abused knife in your junk drawer will at least be sharp enough to be useable after about ten seconds using this. The thing comes with a guide printed on the bottom.. simple stuff really but just use the ‘grind’ method for those junk drawer knives

So I saw an infomercial for this and I was intrigued! Per usual, I looked up the reviews on amazon to get the real scoop, and to my surprise, they were mostly positive! I REALLY hate cutting with dull knives and now that my kids are helping out in the kitchen, I really need the safety of having sharp knives around (dull ones just make it hard to cut and people tend to cut themselves more!!!) Now, I admittedly do not have the highest quality/costing knives and I know enough that if you spent $200 on a knife, this might not be the best choice to sharpen it. But, if you are like me and have a dozen dull paring knives floating around a drawer, this is a life saver! It does take up a bit of room, but it is easy to use and sharpens a knife to a very usable sharpness in just a few passes. Five stars for me!

Don’t work to good
Mark Brown –
I have bought so many different absorbers in the past. This is by far the best sharpener I have ever purchased. It will even sharpen serrated edge. So easy to use. I will no longer have to send my knives out for professional sharpening. Love it!
Mike Martinez –
Just like the headline = Works great, easy to use, stands sturdy. Best sharpener I have used yet. This one actually flexes down as you sharpen your blade so that you wont destroy your edge unlike a lot of handheld knife sharpener. My friend has been using his for over 2 years. Mine is just a month old but I have already gotten good use of it. Highly recommend.
Laura Johnson –
It works amazingly well. My complaint is that I bought it for $19 two days ago. It arrived in just one day. I opened and used it and it was such a good sharpener that I wanted to buy two more (of for a child and another for a second home). Today Amazon says it will cost me $25 each. I may be wrong, but I smell a scam. As soon as you want to buy more of a product the price goes up.
Mike Garcia –
I’ve used other sharpening systems for years (diamond hones with angled brackets/rods/clamps), but their tedious to use and you can easily cut yourself while sharpening if you’re not careful. With the Bavarian Edge, you just point the tip of the knife upward on a 45 degree angle (for a knife that just needs a touch up) and draw it down through the little black arms on the device. After about 20 strokes, your knife is back to razor sharp. For really dull knives, you point the tip on a 45 degree downward angle and give it 20 strokes. It couldn’t be simpler or easier and there’s no chance of cutting yourself unless you’re already terribly clumsy. 10/10 would buy again and I already bought one for my Mom and recommended one for a friend as well.
Daniel Johnson –
Bavarian Edge knife sharpener works! This is the same one that’s on infomercial easy to use doesn’t take a lot of pressure to use ether. Base is sturdy looks and feels like it’s all metal construction. I recommend it !
Laura Smith –
Didn’t think something like this would actually work as well as it does but this thing is no joke. It only takes maybe 15-20 seconds to sharpen each knife, and I would say the results are about 90% as good as using a sharpening stone.In addition to successfully restoring all my frequently-used knives with ease, I tested it on a dull kitchen knife that I rarely ever use, and I can’t believe that I got it effortlessly slicing pieces of printer paper, with so little work on my end. What’s especially impressive is that it even works on serrated knives, this is the first time that my bread knife has worked this well since I bought it.My one complaint is the fact that this is mostly made of plastic, I would have been more than happy to pay more for a version made of more durable materials. But, I am truly impressed, I figured it would work but I didn’t realize it would work so well, so quickly, and on so many different kinds of knives.

I NEVER WRITE REVIEWS… but this one deserves it. Before I purchased this knife sharpener I read many reviews. Most of those reviews were not very favorable but I read some that say it worked great. I figured its amazon and if I’m not happy I can return it. I got the sharpener and was excited to try it out on many knives that were in dire need of sharpening. I read the instructions and gave it a shot. I made sure the knife I was sharpening was super dull. Wouldnt slice a tomato. I started the sharpening as per the instructions. To my dismay I fell for the gimmick! The knife was no sharper than when I began. Basically crushed the tomato instead of slicing it. But…. I thought to myself this knife was ridiculously dull, even on my whetstone it would take at least 10 min to sharpen it. So I continued. I made approximately 25 strokes, with a good amount of pressure against what the instructions say to do, and then very lightly performed the polishing step. Wouldnt you know it. It was now razor sharp. This sharpener may not last as long as a whetstone but for the price and ease of use you can buy a replacement when it wears out. The convenience is hands down unbelievable. I would recommend to anyone and everyone. Buy it, follow the directions as a guideline only and you will be happy. If the knife is extremely dull perform many more strokes than the directions say. If you know about knife sharpening you have to form a burr and then move on. Once you get it razor sharp you can then maintain the edge daily or every few days as the directions say. Happy sharpening!!!

This sharpener has taken my cooking to a whole new level. We have had Cutco knives for years and I have been trying to keep them sharp on a traditional stone. Using that method, I’m finding that I don’t do it often enough to keep the edge on the knife. When I do sharpen them, the edge is too far gone for the time i have to sharpen them.I used this sharpener on each of my knives (serrated included) for 10 minutes or less and it made a world of difference. 10 minutes sounds like a long time, but the knives were in horrible condition. Now they’re cutting excellently! I’ll spend a few minutes here and there with this sharpener because it’s so easy and keep my cutlery in tip top shape now!

After seeing knife wielding butchers on assembly lines quickly sharpening their knives with a device similar to this I jumped in. Glad I did. It works easily. Actually read the instructions discovering that knife tip low while handle is high is for course sharpening. Knife tip level with handle is the next level of avoiding dull blades and the fine blade is created with the handle low and the blade tip high. All of this done as a step to greatness. Each step on its’ own , not combined. Thinking of a playground see -saw. Tip down for really bad blades as a first approach. Level with the ground is the next visit and finally the real action happens with the tip up/handle down stroke. Not to push too hard, some pressure, you’ll get the hang of it. I swipe it toward me vs. sawing in both direction. Seems to work better this way.Some tell me if that’s ok?

I had a drawer full of dull knives. Now they can slice tomatoes super thin. It’s easy to use and surprisingly effective.
John Jones –
I had my first one since they came out over 10 years ago (I’m not sure how long but I know it was greater than 10 years). They won’t make a dull knife sharp; but it’ll make a sharp knife sharper! Read that again! You can’t put a blade on a dull knife, but you can make a sharp knife sharper.
Jessica Martinez –
Keep it on the kitchen counter and sharpen knives as needed. Provides a razor sharp finish and easy to use.
Mark Williams –
I had knives I bought years ago and kept them in my kitchen drawers and recently got a magnetic knife holder and put all my kitchen knives on it but they were all dull so I bought this knife sharpener because my son has one and he loves it and he uses it all the time so he came here last night and sharpened all my knives for me and showed me how to keep them sharp hope it lasts for a long time great quality value for money and even got it a day early
John Brown –
I USED ONE FOR YEARS. TILL MY DAUGHTER WANTED IT BACK. SO I HAD TO BUY ANOTHER ONE. I HAVE A POCKET KNIFE I SHARPENED ONCE A WEEK. ALL I HAVE TO SHARPEN IT IS PULL THE BLADE THREW IT 20 TIMES AND IT’S SUPER SHARP.YOU WILL LOVE IT
Sarah Smith –
Seems to be sharpening my knives as well as the one I ware out after years of use.
Laura Johnson –
Had one other of another brand and found that one of the legs broke as reported by many others…this one seems to be built better, so hoping it holds up…sharpening wise, it does the job…this style of sharpeners are so much better than most others, hands down – surprised not more popular…maybe because they are so easy people think they are a gimmick?
Sarah Miller –
The sharpener came on tjme and was packaged really well.We owned a knife sharpener years ago called a Warthog, we can’t find it anymore. We were hoping this was the same… for the price it’s a good sharpener. My hubby mastered it after reading the directions and several attempts, I lost motivation and will now leave all sharpening to him.It is very lightweight and the angles of the knives are very specific. I wish it had a base that held it steady or the ability to attach to the counter top.It’s not the quality of the Warthog, but it’s not the price either. I would’ve paid more to have higher quality, but all things considered, it’s a decent, lower price sharpener.I would order again from the company, they were great!
Sarah Brown –
I love this. It’s simply the best knife sharpener around. My knives stay nice and sharp. I used on my grandmother’s old bench scraper and now that’s as sharp as any knife in the house, This is worth every penny you spend on it. I will never buy any other sharpener in my life.
Robert Miller –
It’s a great table piece everyone wants to try it out and you get all your knives sharpened at the same time
Emily Williams –
Mike Martinez –
they don’t last forever. BUT they do put a great final edge on your knives. I do admit I hit my knives on a disk sander to tune up the angle of the edge …and I finish with the Bavarian edge. this 2 part sharpening will leave you with a knife you can shave with.

We moved to Daytona in our retirement residence from working overseas for 35 years.New house new sharpener.This is my 7 th purchase, an essential way to sharpen knives by DIY.Thanks, see ya’all again at eight,JBT
Mark Smith –
I haven’t used it yet, but this is my third one so hopefully it will work as well and as long as the other ones
Anna Brown –
Easy to use and does it’s job and good quality!
Daniel Smith –
This product is absolutely amazing. Gifted one to a friend and purchasing another for my mother.Lost one of the upper back plugs on mine, still trying to fabricate or find that type of cap for the upper rear. I’ve had mine for a couple of years, I think that the newer ones are better because they come with instructions.If anyone knows where I can find the rubber gromit for my repair I would really appreciate your knowledge.
Laura Williams –
The Bavarian Edge is a fantastic tool to hone knives to keep a great edge on them. If you run your edge through it a couple times before each use, your edge will stay exceptionally sharp as long as you are using the knives appropriately. It does not do a good job of sharpening edges. A proper sharpening system needs to be used to establish an edge profile that this can then maintain.
Anna Smith –
Dull knives are a pet peeve of mine. I have tried so many different knife sharpeners but don’t seem to have what it takes to sharpen with steels or whet stones, although my father used these methods to keep knives nice and sharp. I’ve also tried five or six other types of sharpeners to no avail. This Bavarian Edge Kitchen Knife Sharpener works like a dream! It is heavier than I expected and very well-made, not to mention very easy to use. I’ve even sharpened serrated knives successfully with it. My French chef knives, which I’ve had for years, cut through onions and veggies like butter. I may have to buy one for each of my sons so that, when I’m at their homes, I can have sharp knives for cooking. This is definitely a winner.

Couldn’t make sharpening blades easier
