How does the auto-adjusting head work?

A spring-loaded guide holds the rods against the blade as you pull it through, so the sharpening angle sets itself. You don't choose an angle or count strokes by degrees.

What is the difference between the two stages?

The first stage uses tungsten carbide to cut a fresh edge on a dull blade. The second stage hones and refines that edge. Use stage one sparingly and stage two for regular touch-ups.

Will it sharpen serrated or Japanese knives?

It is built for standard and beveled kitchen blades. Serrated edges and thin, hard Japanese knives are better left to a rod, stone or a sharpener made for them.

Does it need water or oil?

No. It is a dry pull-through sharpener. Wipe the rods and the body clean after use to clear metal dust.

How often should I use it?

Use the honing stage for regular upkeep and the carbide stage only when the knife is genuinely dull. Frequent carbide passes shorten a blade's life.

Our take on the Ergo Chef Pro Series 2-Stage Auto Adjusting Spring Loaded Knife Sharpener

The Ergo Chef FastEdge II is a compact two-stage manual sharpener with a spring-loaded, auto-adjusting head that sets the angle for you. Stage one uses tungsten carbide to cut a new edge; stage two hones it. The body is ABS polymer with a soft grip and silicone pads that hold it steady on the counter. It suits home cooks who want a quick touch-up without learning angles, but it is a pull-through sharpener: it removes metal fast and won't match a whetstone or a guided rod system for edge quality or blade life.
