Has anyone used the Tumbler knife sharpening kit? Or should I just get the Global knife sharpener?

It is my first time having a nice set of knives that need sharpening.

If you're going for convenience I'm sure either would be acceptable...but you really can't beat a traditional wet stone grind.

Every non-paid for review of the tumbler has been pretty shite. Either get the Horl or a cheap Amazon branded one

I have several shun and wusthof knives. I am a home cook, not a professional chef. I have a whetstone and have used different “gimmicky” sharpeners. I have found the following.

1. For the average home use, I don’t need scary sharp. Very sharp will do just fine.

2. Those fancy sharpening rigs always take forever to sharpen 8 or 9 knives at one time and they are a pain in the arse to pull out for just one knife.

3. My go to is a pull through sharpener from Amazon. If I was using it daily, sure, it would eat my knives away. I use it about once a month per knife. It takes 20 seconds and keeps my knives as sharp as I need them to be.

I would like to learn to use a stone one day, but I get by with one of these.
