I saw your comment on a different fideo about this, I'm glad you made this video explaining this. Thank you for putting the effort in to helping other people tweak this product to make it work better

Omgosh!!! Thank you SO much for this. I've been fiddling with this for a year, trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Like yours, my knife holder wasn't at 15° and I didn't know how to adjust it. Your video was the perfect tutorial. Now all my knives are razor sharp, if not more. Thank you, thank you, thank you 😙🤌(chef's kiss)!!!

With a couple of very easy and cheap tweaks these Ruixin sharpeners are the best bang for your buck you’ll find for sharpening. I’ve had one and I now have a few Toohr that are also great value for money at around £50/$65. The only reason I gave the Ruixin to my friend was the Toohr (having 2 clamps) is better for sharpening longer knifes, it also has fine adjustment of angle which is very useful.

I would never have thought of checking the trueness of that bottom plate. Thanks!

Your angle fix works a treat. BRILLIANT !!!!!!! many thanks.

Hey mate thank you for the time and effort. You have saved me a lot of time with this video.

Just bought one, they actually supplied 4 slivers of plastic to go in the area this gentleman has highlighted which is good. maybe they've seen his video.

Thanks for this video. I haven't received mine yet but was worried after hearing about the manufacturing defect. This pits my mind at ease.

That was helpful…thanx.

Right out of the box I realized that the angles on either side were different and it's the problem that most of these sharpening systems have is getting the clamping mechanism just right to keep you true. Hopefully your technique will work for me. Thanks

I got this kind of problem. I will try this. Tq for your sharing. Thumbs up!

Thank you for your time sir

Just got mine and it's out 1 full degree. Gonna try this out. Thank you.

If by chance you find the problem gets worse when following these directions try applying the tape strips in front of the screws instead of behind them. Some have reported that worked for them.

I think you'll find a little electrical tape and 15 mins. time will be well worth it. Let us know how it worked for you. Thanks

I think its pronounced more like "ray-shin" or "ray-sheen." ru-ee-sheen Just ordered one thanks for all the tips!

Do you think that possibly the plastic washers will compress over time and change the angle that was corrected? Maybe metal washers would be a better choice and wouldn't compress as much.

@Brian Erwin The thin strips of tape have to be placed either in front of or behind the screws (depending on which way the knife holder is off) so that probably wouldn't work. But good thought any way.

Do you have to add or subtract the number of electrical tape for different thickness of knives?

@robertcuthill8484

Жыл бұрын

It has nothing to do with the thickness of the knife. It's about keeping the same angle when flipping the knife. Which is where this sharpener falls short straight from the factory.

I am 100% new to knife sharpening, how and where exactly do I use the protractor to measure the angle? Thank you

I used the protractor on the flat of the cleaver I was sharpening at the time. You can see it in the companion video which I have a link for here in the comments. Thanks

aluminum foil would be a better material to use as shims

I have the same problems..mine offset 2 degrees..so painful to watch my knifes got different Bevel degree..I still don't understand what u do to fix it..can u make a new video explains how u do it from a-z?

Yes, I needed about 4 strips stacked. Of course yours could differ or even need the tape placed in front of the screw holes instead of behind them as mine did.

Couldn't you just take the knife out and flip it over so you can keep the same angle degree.?

Same issue her 0.80 degrees different between both sides Sorry to told you I do what you did but the difference increased to 1.2 degrees May be my faults, but when adding tape the difference increased not comes less that's means something wrong

@BEANS Would love to hear from others if this simple fix worked for them. At 0.80 you may need only a single layer of tape to bring it to 15/15 degrees center. Thanks

I hold my knives at the right angle as I'm tightening and that seems to keep it true

or you can bend the metal to get the correct angle on both sides?

@robertcuthill8484

Yes you certainly could bend the metal. I would just bend the bottom plate using a vise. The thing is to first determine which way it needs to be bent and then bend it evenly.

Definitely not how you set the angle. The angle is set by how high you put the swivel on the vertical bar

@ Tim Reed You've totally misunderstood what this video is all about. If only it were that simple. Either you have never used one of these sharpeners or you are just one of the lucky ones who got a unit that came set at the correct angle of 15 deg. (on the knife holder) from the factory. Or the 3rd possibility that you have been sharpening knifes to a different angle on both sides of the blade without realizing it.

I heard this was junk also the stones a cheap😒
