Miyabi Koh 4000FC 8" Chef Knife (33951-201)
Great knife nice and sharp. Has a really good feel in hand. Only complaint is it would have been nice to have a sheath or something to store it in. The pacakaging works but is kind of flimsy. I only use mine for sushi and like to keep it out of sight out of mind of grubby hacks that might abuse it.

Hello Brian, You chose an absolutely beautiful knife. I understand not wanting anything to happen to it. If you look on www.houseofknives.ca we have the perfect Kussi blade cover for it. For about $10 you can protect this work of art. Here is a link that you can follow to see what I recommend. https://houseofknives.ca/kussi-blade-guard-chef-8-inch-ks-ch8/ (It's currently on sale for $8!) Let us know at service@houseofknives.ca if you have any questions.

This knife is so small it’s more of a decoration than a knife. I wish I’d realized that before I bought it on final sale.

SOG Baton Q3 (ID1021-CP)
Really handy tool. Only knock is the plier grip slips when being used. I think it’s a perfect EDC bag tool for a more casual user.

Work Sharp Precision Adjust Knife Sharpener (WSBCHPAJ)
For the money this is nothing short of awesome when compared to the Lansky, Kme and wicked edge, After I sharpened my knife S35VN on this, I brought the knife to work and showed the guys. I recommended this to one of them. He bought it and he is very happy as well.

CIVIVI Elementum Black G10 Carbon Fiber Inlay (C907DS)
Very good knife for the price! Carbon is slippery so i made some grooves to avoid that. I also put a thumbstud and made space in the scales to acces it. Stock, it’s a charm… but my mods improved the look and the fun to open it! Thank you House of Knives… very fast shipping!!

Chef's Choice Model 220 Hybrid Diamond Hone Electric (0220100)
Difficult to review. It really depends on what you want from a sharpener: your level of skill, what you want to sharpen, how much time you want to spend on sharpening, and how high or low end your knives are. For my use I give it 3 stars. For the right person it works well and would be worth 4 or 4.5 stars.
Positives: puts a decent edge on a blade fairly quickly and easily and requires next to no skill. It would probably be suitable for someone who does not have high end knives and is not a perfectionist when it comes to sharpening. It worked very well in that role on my mom's Starfrit kitchen knives.

Negatives: The slots for the blades is VERY narrow and only suited for kitchen blades with a very slim profile. I discovered quickly that my Gerber Mk 1 and Cold Steel SRK knives had blades too thick to use this sharpener. It is two stage. The first stage is electric grinding wheels that take off a fair bit of steel, and the second stage a unpowered ceramic wheel that cleans up the burr and gives a secondary bevel. Over use of the first stage over the long term would likely shorten the life of a high end knife. It also only does one bevel angle for everything, so it would not be suitable for single bevel sushi knives, or a Scandi grind used by Morakniv knives.

I have since gotten into learning whetstone sharpening and will likely use this as a gift. For someone who has cheap knives and just wants a decent edge without having to think about it it is likely the ideal sharpener.

I'm sorry your sharpener was not all you'd hoped it would be. Hopefully you will love stone sharpening as much as I do! Thank you very much for choosing HOK.

Norpro Sili-Stretch Bowl Cover Set of 2 (529)
Went to use the small one for the first time and it split in two, right down the middle as soon as I started stretching it over a bowl. Useless now. Despite the name, it can't be stretched without breaking.
