What reviewers didn't like

They are a little harder to come by
- A Sharp Slice
The frame is made of hard plastic which cuts down on the overall weight of the unit but might have some effect on the lasting durability.

We wish that there was a bit more information about the nature of the finishing rods included with this device.

It can't reach all the way into the corner of the knife's ricasso
