Lay your knife flat and let the magnetic base grab it at a fixed 15° or 20°.
Set the knife on the magnetic base, roll the sharpener along the edge, done. The base holds the exact 15° or 20° angle for you — the part every other method gets wrong.
The magnet holds the angle, so every pass is identical to the last.
Ten passes a side. Slice paper to check. Move on to the next knife.

A dull knife is the most dangerous thing in your kitchen. It slips, it crushes tomatoes instead of slicing them, and it turns ten minutes of prep into thirty.
Pull-through sharpeners chew metal off your blade. Whetstones take practice most people never get around to. Electric sharpeners cost more than the knife.
Every method comes down to one thing: holding the same angle on every pass. Your hands can't. A magnet can.

Lay your knife flat and let the magnetic base grab it at a fixed 15° or 20°.

Run the diamond side along the edge, five to ten passes per side.

Flip to the fine side, a few light passes, and slice paper to check.
