The Amesser A-65 and the Cubikook CS-T01 are good sharpeners, but if you’re looking for a device that can sharpen quickly without being too harsh on the knife, the latter is the better choice.
The sharpeners are well-designed and offer great stability during sharpening, with the Amesser benefiting from its weighted base while the Cubikook, from its low working section. Both are simple to use, though the Amesser’s soft finish and ergonomic handle make it more appealing to work with.
They sport very similar working sections, with diamond-coated rods, tungsten carbide blades, and ceramic rods as abrasives. However, the Cubikook garnered better scores in all performance categories. It took less time to sharpen and removed significantly less material from the knife’s edge.
