Ruixin Pro Knife Sharpener

I bought a cheap chinese knife sharpener and decided to let you see in real time how it performs. For the hobby knife maker or just a keen cook it works very well.

When sharpening any tool you must form a burr. Then you remove the burr by either going across the grain of a piece of softwood or using a leather strop with a fine grinding paste applied. To keep your blade edge true use knife steel. Still, here you have to gain experience as you use your knives and keep them from going blunt by using and touching them up when necessary. Hope this helps as you said you do struggle. Actually, I have bought one of these too and yes you have to keep the stone moist. I don't take mine out but wipe a rag over the stone when I feel it going dry. Another trick is to make sure you don't have any grease or fat on your knives before sharpening. Remove the grease from the knives by boiling them in water. Otherwise, the stone clogs up. If you have a build-up of fat on your stone then boil it in water. Have to be careful with these stones but always place them in cold water and bring them to a boil. You should see all the fat has gone from the stone as it melts out of the stone. That's from an abattoir worker who sharpened his knives only once a week and used a "steel" to keep the edge true Another trick is you never use oil on an oil stone! Funny it's been called an oil stone when actually it is an aluminum oxide grit with a water-resistant bond used. If you want to use other than water use kerosene but not a real good idea although Kerosene is abrasive but leaves a smell in and on the handles of your knife. Let me know if I have helped you with the ideas I have written to you about sharpening knives .

I like the way blade sides can be quickly changed with a minimum of effort. And obviously maintaining an optimal angle is very desirable.

I have put nuts on the end of my extender bit. And also swapped those hand tightened with the Allen ones. Mine is now very sturdy. Also I put washers on the pole to stop it dropping with the tightening clips one. Also upgraded my clips as they became threaded quite quickly. I bought the one with 10 stones. Love it.

[@rhysdavies305]

I use on and get razor sharp, mirror finishes on most knives. Also, keep a little spray bottle of water handy for when the stone drys out.

[@MrTimmmers]

I set my common angles and made copper tube to slip over the upright rod, marked the angle for each, so I just pop on the right bit to set the angle for each. It can't slip then either. .. I also popped a small rubber O ring on the sliding rod to cushion it's limits, makes it nicer to use, With higher grit , or diamond, stones and a strop you can get mirror results, Aliexpress is your friend for those parts. As for when to stop, that's after you strop the tiny end burr off.

That's a great idea!

[@tylerwebb1900]

From overall exspereince and research ive done its best to stick with either honing oil or water on your stones never use both switching back and fourth.

[@yellowdog762jb]

Agreed. If you start w water you can go to oil, if you really want to. But you can't easily go back. I use water on most of mine. Soapy water or generic windex works well. I have bought some old whetstones at garage sales that were pretty dished out or chipped. I flatten them w sandpaper placed on a 1 ft square piece of granite flooring tile I got on close out at a flooring store. Then put them in my ultra sonic cleaner with a healthy dose of Simple Green or Dawn. I run them through a few heated cycles. Then once or twice with plain water. They generally don't seem oily after that and they will also absorb water. True them up Before you clean them. Flattening them first removes a lot of the clogged and oil soaked material, making them easier to clean. Larger whetstones are expensive, I've managed to acquire a few good ones this way, enabling me to have one stashed just about anywhere I'm likely to need it.

[@rustic35]

Use a little squit bottle for the water. Just flip the stone, dribble some water and you're good to go.

[@Garymayo]

This company also sells a clone to the Edge Pro Professional and also Apex. The Apex version is pretty junky but the professional clone is well made and uses a table jig rather than a clamp. Useful on large blades or for someone like me that dies not want the bother of setting up a clamp. Clamps are also dangerous in that you are positioning a giant razor blade directly at you and one wrong move and you get sliced painfully deep. The weak part of these Chinese systems are the stones. Pick up some diamond stones that are 6” or 150mm long. Cut a rat tail file to the proper length for your rough stone. This will never wear out and is ideal for setting your desired angle. Finish off with lapping sheets that go to 60,000 grit and you have a high mirror edge Thanks for the video, very well done. Thumbs up and subed. :)

Measure the angle of the blade itself then flip it and measure the actual blade angle again. Then see how far off it is. I don't see how you can clamp the blade so it's in the middle (= angle on both sides) each time you use it. This is fine to sharpen a blade infrequently, but you will end up re-profiling it each time you put the knife in the clamp. It's always different.

[@truthsower4560]

So you can use cooking oil to moisten the knife before sharpening? Can the clamp of this sharpener hold onto a knife that is 7mm thick?

[@garyhuston]

I have only used about 5mm but it only needs longer bolts if it won’t

[@rustic35]

Reduce down to one sweeping motion on both sides and you're done. Do a few at two per side then one per side about two times. 👍

[@cudgee7144]

Looks a really good sharpener, and you give it the thumbs up, but will it work for pocket knives, i doubt it. The blade clamp looks too wide and too deep for a EDC pocket knife. Just some advise, people look out for videos from people such as yourself to get a feel for these things before they make a purchase, which is fantastic and helpful, but can you do a range of different sorts of knives. I am looking at purchasing one these, but will have to wait and see someone using one on pocket knives.

[@garyhuston]

It will work on any blade over 3 1/2" long

[@GertTown]

You can do smaller knives. All you have to do is put it in the clamp at a slight angle so the tip sticks out enough to sharpen it.

I'm so torn between this an the lansky

[@jhunswerr8669]

Well the lansky it's a lot better out of the box and comes with better stones, the ruixin could be a lot better in the long run but maybe u gonna need to fix some problems with the clamp, and the stones that u got for free a just trash, but u can get better aftermarket stones that are really good, the only downside is the price around 28 usd for one stone and it can go up to 120 usd

[@triune_blades]

I have a lansky and I wish it could pull out and rotate like this one. That's probably the most annoying part. Plus, it doesn't mount to a bench/table like this one does so it's not as secure. The main downside to this system is that it'll be more difficult to sharpen smaller blades. The clamp is so long that it's probably larger than some people's knives. 😳

[@MorryTheHandyman]

I am having a hard time getting the stone to clamp in. I have tried several different adjustments and it never gets tight. Please offer your suggestions. Thanks.

Check you have it together correctly. If it is it should clamp down tight as you tighten the clamp screw, it’s tapered so it does.

Avoid in my opinion.

[@zac6x9]

Thanks for the review

[@cudgee7144]

That is the major flaw with them, there are KZbin videos on how to correct the issue, but none of them have worked for me. The only way around it is to measure the angle every time you flip it with a digital cube, which becomes very tedious and time consuming, especially on the final finishing stones to remove any burr. Good luck with it.

Unless you tighten everything with pliers, the thing will work loose and either fall apart or you will lose your angle. The only thing worth having is the stone set.

I brought the same one it only came with 1 stone 😒

[@doggodoggo3000]

mine actually came with 10 stones at $35. but I have found that is pretty excessive. I think the four stone version is probably just fine. i bought a cheap set of diamond stones as well but have yet to use them. I have taken the stone holder off and put on a file though. That worked very well. And I want to find a way to attach a sharp maker triangle or a ceramic rod to do curved blades. i just ordered a cheap ceramic rod but its a touch to thick i need to make some sort of holder for it. im thinking i might set one end in a length of copper pipe with adhesive and then hammer the other side flat. I still think if you could slap sharp maker stones on this thing that would be ideal

[@chancetolbert4852]

Yep on Amazon many sellers have different options. Mine came with 10 stones ranging from 80 grit-3000grit

[@doggodoggo3000]

@@chancetolbert4852 the blue/green stones suck. but the red and white ones are good.

[@troybyers147]

I ended up buying the "diamond" ones there actually pretty good. Not sure how long they will last but cheap enough. I also brought a ball joint off Amazon for it. The plastic ball won't last long.

[@chancetolbert4852]

@@troybyers147 yea there are many upgrades people have done. One with a telescope holder base for easy and precise adjustments. A metal ball joint or whatever its called is definitely a necessary upgrade for it

este es un muy mal aparato tecnicamente construido, el angulo de un lado no se corresponde con el otro, no lo puedo retornar porque desde que lo compre a la fecha no lo habia usado y no sabia de este problema, hice un papel de idiota con esta compra, no lo compren porque perderan su dinero, y sera duenos de una serie de alambres inservibles, que pena con estas personas.

[@magnacarta9364]

Its easily fixed apparently with some electrical tape at the top of the clamps. First remove the screws and one to three thin strips placed.

Every time he wiped the grinding powder off the blade, I tensed up.

[@carlosdevenadotuerto8143]

Trying to use the full length of the stone seems fine, but you shouldn't hit the edge of the knife with the metal part near your hand. Please glue a small piece of leather or rubber. This error shows you little ability to sharpen well. Don't shoot a video if you don't have enough knowledge. BE SMARTER

[@gussutherland1525]

You obviously think you are so great, where is your video ? Why be so negative from your little sad room where no one knows who you are... Why be a troll ?

[@HitLeftistsWithHammers]

I have this sharpener. Kind of want to put it in the press and flatten it into scrap with how terrible it really is. Touching up edges? Oh, just adjust it 32,000 times, or expect to completely refinish the entire edge.

[@garyhuston]

What do you expect for a £25 tool!? No, it’s not perfect but for the price it’s much better than trying to sharpen by eye without it! I really don’t know why you people are so negative about a cheap tool. If it was hundreds of pounds I could understand but it’s not!

[@HitLeftistsWithHammers]

I have gotten great results when using pocket knives with relatively straight cutting edges, tantos, butcher/wharncliffe style and whatnot. Stuff thats not over 5-6 inches with curves. Once I stuck a 6 inch chefs knife on it, used the sharpie method and found that I would either have to adjust several times or completely refinish starting with the course stone.

[@HitLeftistsWithHammers]

@@garyhuston shit I'm just glad I got it from where I got it from and not Wasabi knives 🤣 There are people paying FAR more than others for this setup, they will expect results the likes of only wicked edge or well practiced hands can achieve for a swipe stone.

[@garyhuston]

I have only ever sharpened big blades on mine and find it tricky to set up but, as I said, for the price it’s easier than by hand.

[@HitLeftistsWithHammers]

@@garyhuston I do however want to get some of the other stones they offer. That said, in the second page of the little booklet it shows how to attach files and how to use sandpaper instead of the stones. That i like. I need to figure out a way to use the guide on axes/hatchets and other cutting tools
