A solid guided sharpener.
This guided sharpener, a Toohr #3 clone, is a solid product. I had ordered one from the Toohr Offical Store off Ali Express and received a bad unit. Bent guide rod, gimbal guide rod bearing assembly missing the tiny ball bearings, both causing incredibly stiff operation. Also, the tower mount on the metal sliding bar was so full of swarf, that made sliding the unit very difficult. I returned it.I ordered this KETIPED unit and it was a night and day difference. while it still required disassembly to correct minor fabrication and assembly issues, once done, the unit was as solid as could be and I started sharpening the first knife 45 minutes later. Very pleased with its function and the repeatability when flipping the blade over. Please note, the included stones are not great quality. They will work though.Additional thoughts on what I deem convenient items to have:A dedicated allen head screw driver for the knife clamps. The included allen keys will work though.A digital angle finder. Not all knives are sharpened at 15° :)Diamond grit stones. The Sytools branded ones work well for me and are relatively inexpensive.Things I did once I received it:TLDR... Clean/wipe/brush each part down. Evenly loosen and re-torque each and every screw. Chamfer ends of guide rod.Tower mount:Note: Do NOT remove the tower mount from the slider bar as you risk losing the ball bearings. Slide the tower mount to each end and clean the edge channels where the bearings ride. brush out any swarf that may be present. Mine had only minor debris. Lightly lubricate the edge channels with a dry lube.Tower assembly:Remove the the top and bottom screws for the two guide rods. Apply blue (medium) loctite to the threads and loosely install screws. Run the hand crank to the bottom and snug the bottom screws. Run the hand crank to the top and snug the top screws. This will parallel both rods. Fully tighten screws.Guide Rod Gimbal.Tighten the screw enough to remove the play but not hinder the rotation of the gimbal. 1/4 turn is all mine took. A thin wall socket or suitable flat blade screwdriver will be needed to hold/jam the recessed nut.Knife clamps:Mine fit too snug in the clamp bar. Using a fine mill file ,taking one swipe at a time and alternating the sides I filed, I hand fit the clamps to the clamp bar until they slid back and forth without canting.Blade rotation assembly.I removed each screw, one at a time, and applied blue loctite. Loosely install the screws and tighten each one down evenly (standard torque). Tighten spring. After this, repeatability when rotating the clamp bar improved to ~ 0.1° - 0.2°.Guide rod:The guide rod is straight cut and has sharp edges. Break the edges on the ends >/= 0.010" or chamfer them a bit with a bench grinder, file, or whatever you have. These sharp edges are likely to catch and unseat the tiny ball bearings in the guide rod bearing assembly upon installation.After all this, the sharpener is smooth and solid in performance.Hope this info helps someone out.

MY Best Buy from 2024 and so far 2025
Awesome tool for precision sharpening of your knives. It comes nicely packaged and well protected. It does require some assembly but goes together quickly with supplied tools (Allen wrenches). For the most part this operated effortlessly and after properly positioned it delivers accurate angle of stone to knife placement. Basically, and as you have probably already figured out, the knife or blade is clamped into the front jaw or two jaws and the mechanism (I call it an elevator) raises or lowers via a small crank handle that works very nicely. The angle is locked in and the stone put in place and is gently drawn across your blade. The knife or blade remains in the secured jaws and the front assembly rotates to the other side of the knife so it can be sharpened. It is so easy and fun to use!!There are a few things that would make it better.One, if it came with a way to sharpen scissors. There are no add on attachments to do this.Two, when taking the elevator off of the base plate there are MANY MANY little tiny bearings in the base of the elevator that will fall out and magically disappear across your kitchen or shop floor, be prepared with a good strong magnet to retrieve.Three, It is a fairly good size and if you don't want to disassemble often you will need storage space.Four, it should come with a greater variety of sharpening stones. Although replacements or additional stones are inexpensive.Would I do it again? Oh He!! Yeah!! In a minute. And, if I find somebody I like enough this will be a xmas present.This is well made and one of my best buys for 2024 and so far 2025. It has given me hours of enjoyment to the sometimes tedious task of sharpening knives to a mediocre edge. This gets a consistently great edge and I wholeheartedly agree with the positive comments towards the angle guide, ease of use, and durability.I have sharpened all my many kitchen chef's knives, steak knives, sushi knives, pocket knives, navy deep sea divers knife, outside utility knives. I should mention that I was a chef for many years and appreciate, sorry require, a fine edge on my cutlery.
