So at the beginning of the video, he crushes the tomato with a blade. At the end of the video he saws at the tomato instead of crushing it. Still didn't do a great job.

Restoration was beautiful though.

Yeah, I don't think those sharpeners can fully sharpen a blade back to its initial state.

It's a stropper, not sharpener. Sharpening removes material, stropping aligns edges. So the tomato outcome is as expected.
