AnySharp Knife Sharpener, Hands-Free Safety, PowerGrip Suction, Safely Sharpens All Kitchen Knives, Ideal for Hardened Steel & Serrated, World's Best, Compact, One Size, Silver

I can wholeheartedly recommend this if you're looking for a quick and easy way to sharpen knives. This product just works. Secures to the work surface with incredible suction thanks to a clever design.20 passes through with light pressure, barely more than the weight of the knife itself, had my once dull knives slicing tomatoes like you see in the videos.Seems solidly built for the price point. An excellent value propersition.Time will tell about it's longevity, but I see you can buy replacement sharpening bits.Go ahead and buy it.

The media could not be loaded. Got this one since it had a lot of good reviews! And it did not disappoint, the functionality is great and efficient, pretty simple to use, the suction is on point if you do it right!The durability is something time would tell! As of now 2 weeks its great! (Will update if any changes)It sharpens the knife pretty well too!Overall I think it’s a good value for money and you van absolutely go for it.Hope this helps.

I've been using this for a couple of weeks now - it does the job well overall. It's compact and really easy to use. The fact it also works on serrated knives is great. It does feel slightly cheap but it's not an expensive item so no issues there. The suction cup didn't work on my kitchen worktops or table which made things slightly annoying, but it still works well. It's great to have new life in knives that have been getting less effective. It definitely gets the job done.

I have a full set of Type 301 Chroma knives - I wont say what they cost but you could buy a small car with the money. Had them for about 6 years now and great as they were they do go blunt eventually. Being very hard steel the japanese whetstone I bought is frankly a waste of time - soak 20 minutes, faff about with mess and then convince yourslf they are sharp. Frankly they are nothing like the standard when I bought them using one.Having researched everything from powered sharpeners to hand held ones, and being wary of damaging the knives, I thought I would give this a try before buying something more expensive.I tried it first with the least expensive paring knife following the video guide. Gently drawing the knife didnt make any difference and for a second I thought I had made a mistake - no change. I then exerted a bit more pressure, drew the knife back and noted a tiny metal shaving on the worktop, and that the knife was razor sharp. Certainly far sharper than it had been for years and comparable to a new replacement chroma I bought a couple of weeks previously.I then tried it with the bigger knives, and although the curve of some of them (they are all oddly or japanese shaped) sometimes makes it tricky to do end to end sharpening it isnt the tool's fault and in fact you can draw the knife 99.5 % through and across the whole business end of each of them. It did also do the bread knife as promised although I found it oddlu unenjoyable and a bit strange. Probably me but serrated edges are odd.I have read concerns re damage, using up steel edges and so on. I have not experienced any 'chipping' (in fact it has removed a few from the knives)and as for the loss of steel - well I dont see how a knife can become sharp without that happening. In addition if you have decent knives you wont have to do it every time you use them (I have only sharpened them once so far because once you have your edge back they last ages) and it only takes a fraction off. It is so refreshing to have my edges back for cooking and (sadly) isa great talking point when you demonstrate the knives (yes I know the paper trick is naff but doing it with thick plasticky paper and battery packs does impress some people ...)Overall I found it to be a superb product that needs a little practice but it has saved me a lot of money, brought my knife set back to life, and in my opinion is ideal for hard steel as it is difficult to find a domestic product relatively cheaply that can do this. The final point is practicality - I dont want a machine I have to plug - in my kitchen is full of them in what I call the blender draw. It is tiny and the size does not reflect the functionality.I am not a review writer but posted this because there will be a lot of people looking at the product and wondering (probably worried what it would do to decent knives) that will get a whole new lease of life for a tenner or so. Highly recommended.

The best knife sharpener I have ever had.I have just chucked all my others.But it does eat into the knife & metal.You can actually see the metal come off the blade.I would say not to be used too often on a knifeBut every knife I have sharpened with it is razor sharp!!!!
