I've been working as a chef since my early 20. Bought several stones and practiced sharpening knives for years! This is the best system yet!! My knives have never been sharper. Also buy the extra stones. The 1000 grit on this one is great but you really need the 6000 to truly refine the edge of the blade.
Also I've bought 3 of these. 1 for myself 2 for gifts

It took some work to figure out how to sharpen some of the older Henkel knives that I have. But once I got the angle on the edge dialed in, this sharpener works really well. I'm equally impressed because this brand is from Germany and not some Chinese knockoff.

It's a good solution if you don't know at all how to sharpen a knife.
But if you have minimal skill with knife sharpening, it's a lot overpriced.
There are way way cheaper solutions to get a RAZOR SHARP finish on your knifes ( that I didn't achieve with HOLR. They were pretty sharp, but not razor sharp ).
But if you have cash laying around, it's a well designed product.

I have bought more knife sharpening gimmicks than I would care to admit. Most woked fairly well with asterisks and some better than others, some requiring knowledge and a learning curve, some so complicated they are barely usable...
I can honestly say this is the best combo of actually working, being easy to use, and nearly idiot proof of anything I have ever used. In about 20 min I managed to sharpen (touch up really) my whole knife block. These knives were not crucially dull but not razor sharp either. The next day my wife asked, "did you sharpen the knives?" This is remarkable since she has never noticed me sharpening the knives before (in 23 years of us owning a nice collection of knives).

I can easily and honestly say that this is the best combo of easy to use and effective of any tool I have tried. Especially if you want to sharpen one or 2 knives without trotting out and bolting down a complicated set. Although this is great for anyone I can see it particulary great for a working chef who needs a touch up at work or a BBQ team needing something in a competetion. I will keep it in my cabinet and could envision learning in 15 years looking back that this was the last sharpener I have ever used. PS--I did not buy the special fine grit stones. I honestly cannot imagine ever needing them. The included stones shapen to about 100 on the Professional edge tester which is razor blade sharp. A chef's knife really does not need to be sharper than that and an edge sharper than that will likely just dull within a few chops anyway. Readers will have to take a leap of faith and trust me on that--it is plenty sharp without the special kit!
