Easy to use and does the job. If you feel yours doesn't I suggest you watch a video on how to use one because the movement matters, along with the angle you hold your knife at. The key is always knowing the angle of the knife edge and making sure you are maintaining that angle through the entire movement.
Note to some. This is the same thing as a honing steel. They do the same thing. Even though this is called a sharpening steel, it isn't meant for a dull knife. It's meant for daily or near daily conditioning of the knife edge. Daily means when it's used of course, not pulling your knives out of the drawers and conditioning each one. If you do light cutting, you don't need to use each time, but if you are cutting through dense things and coming down hard on a cutting board then you need to use it each time. The edge gets tiny damage that honing will take care of.
Even using this the way you should, you will have to sharpen your knives every so often, and the time duration depends on your usage so it's impossible to when. Basically you remember how well the knife cut when you first got it. When honing doesn't get you back to that, then you either sharpen it with something made specifically for that or you take you knifes to a person who has a good reputation who understands blade angles and will ensure they sharpen your knives at the correct angles.
