RUIXIN PRO RX-008 knife sharpener review. Fixed angle, diamond and ceramic whetstones.

Here is a review of the RUIXIN PRO RX-008 knife sharpener.

It is an inexpensive fixed angle manual sharpener.
You can buy a range of different grit diamond and ceramic whetstones from 240 - 10000.

I would recommend you buy the diamonds stones as they won't break so easily.

1. sharpener
2. four diamond stones 240,400,600,1000

Angle setting, use straws to slide over the vertical rod under your arm, then you can have different ones to quickly set different angles. A small rubber o ring on the travel arm is nice as a stop too, bit smoother when it hits the stop. :) Wish sell diamond stones up to 3000 for peanuts.
You set that angle wrong, use the knife blade not the casting that isn't in line, then your angles won't change.

I've got one of these on the way. Can't wait to sharpen and polish all my gear and kitchen knives with a fixed angle up to a 10, 000 grit mirror finish.

The best instruction vidio for the Ruixin I, ve seen. Thanks.

I needed a Camping knife that can be used for a variety of different tasks.
Out of all the models in this line, this one is perfectly balanced that I got. It does not handle or blades heavy and in my opinion, the Camp knife is a combo fighting/Bushcraft Knife. The blade profile is suited for many Bush tasks, camping, survival, and tactical. It is a razor blade and holds the edge. The sheath is on point! Very well made. I purchased it from Almazan Knives, a great seller.

My second view. This was helpful. I bought a standard whetstone kit and I have difficulty keeping a precise angle. This will help.

This is great for the average person. Nobody is going to spend $600+ on a Wicked Edge, Edge Pro or KME to sharpen $30 worth of Walmart knives.

Tried to shim the small screws with washers. Still didn’t work . I own 2 of these Ruixin’s. They are both off 3 to 4 degrees on the flip. Also you should have mentioned, this exact product is being sold under many names. Anywhere from $38 on Amazon To Wasabi for $130. Same exact product. You may have noticed Wasabi has omitted the Comments Section . Wonder Why, Hmmm !!

Great review thanks - thinking of getting one so very useful.

I went through the setup process and was fine with the minor angle differences; however I noticed that the actual angle of the knife blade was off by 5 degrees from one side to the other. While it still gets very sharp, the edge is not in the center of the steel. Have you heard of a solution for this?

[samuelyeung]

The inconsistent angle between each side has been a known problem, the arm angle is said to be 15% but the clamp's angle, hence the blade angle is not. To get the same straight angle on both side of the blade, I measure the angle of the blade and adjust the angle of the sharpening arm to your desired angle. for instance, if you want 15% and the blade angle is 3%, then set the sharpening arm angle to 12%. After you flipped the knife to the other side, repear the process.

Horl2 rolling sharpener is easy and good result.

[robertbrandywine]

I wish you had done your sharpening motions exactly the same pre and post sharpening. Before you were slice cutting across the grain and after you were slice cutting somewhat with the grain.

On Amazon, in the opinions of this Chinese sharpener, it is written that this buckle does not hold the angle after turning. In addition, they write that these stones are of poor quality and often come broken.

[janardisutono]

what's the maximum knife thickness it can hold? can it handle 6mm thick knife?

[henrilebovic]

Can you sharpen something as small as a 58mm swiss army knife on that too?

[paulgillard]

What app do you use with the zero function?

[jonathanbolding]

Yep they are fragile. Broke the 1500 the first day

[lawrenceohair]

The only angle that matters is the angle between the sharpening stone and the knife! The angle between the clamp holder and the bench is not relevant.

You have the wrong Channel name. Needs to be Mr Thorough

“Wicked Edge” … it lets you do both sides at the same time … 5⭐️
