The Wüsthof Classic Ikon Hand-Held Knife Sharpener is a two-stage pull-through sharpener with V-shaped notches. The tungsten carbide slot grinds a dull edge back into shape; the ceramic slot hones a moderately sharp blade to a finer finish. It suits cooks who want a quick touch-up without learning a whetstone or steel. Against electric sharpeners it is smaller, quieter and simpler, but it removes metal faster than a steel and cannot set a precise angle like a guided stone system. Owners rate it highly for speed and ease of use.

Owners rate it 4.8 out of 5 and mostly praise how fast and easy it restores an edge. The common caution is that the coarse slot is aggressive and should be used sparingly.
This is a hand-held, 2-stage pull-through knife sharpener with a V-shaped design. It has one notch with tungsten steel and one with ceramic steel. It suits people who are not comfortable using sharpening steels or whetstones.
To use it, draw the knife through the guiding notches a few times. The tungsten steel notch sharpens coarsely and is for blunt blades. The ceramic notch sharpens finely and is for coarsely sharpened or moderately sharp blades.
