To those of you who know my mom say a prayer for her tonight she’s been moved to hospice care now day two and it won’t be long before she goes on to see my Dad and other relatives on the other side. We will miss her greatly, but were lucky to have had two of the most wonderful parents ever. The last year and a month without my father has been very hard for her. It’s hard to not remember all the wonderful Thanksgiving meals with her and other relatives who have passed this night before Thanksgiving please keep her in you thoughts. 🙏❤️

The sharpener Scam
As someone who has a professional knife sharpening service I have tested many of the sharpeners on the market that you see both expensive, and cheap, as well as customers asking about them on a regular basis in my shop.

What's really annoying is I see people slapping names like "Wasabi" or "Pro Knife Sharpener" on something that cost around $39 bucks and then selling it for $180 or more. If you are on Instagram or FB you can't miss this being done. They advertise it non stop. If you look at most of them the advertising gives away the scam because they don't even bother to remove the names of the company on their own adds and site. The actual name of the real product is "Ruixin" Just look at the stones and the sharpener in their pictures. It's exactly the same even the wording. They just call it by a Japanese name on their websites to make you think it's something better than a cheap Chinese made sharpener. The stones almost always still have "Ruixin" on it. Here is the proof from just one of the many sites doing this now for years https://wasabi-knives.com/collections/accessories

This is the actual product from Amazon https://amzn.to/47nTU3b
They even have a new version https://amzn.to/469vUz6 These are not new and have been around for several years. They may look similar to a higher end sharpeners like a TS Prof or an Edge Pro, but trust me they are nothing like them in quality.

Is the Ruixin a good product? In my opinion it's not the worst sharpener. I have tested it, but it's not the best. It will sharpen a knife and can do a decent job. It's down sides are in my opinion a the following:(1) It's awkward to put together. (2) Not simple to use. (3)The sharpening stones or diamonds stones you get with it are not high quality. (4)They don't always keep proper angle after flipping from side to side(5) The number one problem most people do not realize when buying this is it takes a good bit of time to sharpen a knife in this manner 30-40 minutes. This is what I like to call manual sharpening.

So If you see this and are temped to buy it, please do yourself a favor and buy it from Amazon. As you can see from the links I provided these other sites are trying to get you to pay far more money for the same product.

I know many people don't have good sharpening services in their area. So you may need to have a sharpener for your own knives, but please don't get ripped off. If you want or need a good quality sharpener I have several listed on my business website that I can highly recommend. They are all very high quality and perform great. If you have and questions about any of them just ask and I can recommend something to you. https://www.alexandriaknifesharpening.com/sharpening
