AnySharp Pro Metal Knife Sharpener with Suction, Citrus Green

It's not quite as good as the infomercial video makes out, but then that's always the case. No, it won't rescue a battered old Pound Shop knife, and I don't think it would put a razor edge on a plastering trowel either (although I admit I haven't actually tried that). It won't beat the sharpness you can get using an oilstone. What it will do is put a pretty good edge on any reasonable knife, and do it quickly and easily. Given the cost of the product, I'm very happy with it.

Of all the items I have bought on the internet over the years not one has ever made me sit down and write a review, if something does what I expect it to do I don’t feel the need to gush over it. This knife sharpener however exceeded my expectations many times over. I have a set of Zwilling and Henkel professional chefs knives that I paid hundreds of pounds for ten years ago. Despite my best efforts to keep them sharp with a butchers steel over the years the edge had gone and it was become increasingly difficult to sharpen them. Before biting the bullet and remortgaging the house to buy a new set I thought I would try this AnySharp sharpener. It is amazing, a few draws through the ceramic blade and my knives were back to as good as new, even my paring knife, which someone dropped point first onto a flagstone bending the tip badly was back to perfect. I have no hesitation recommending this product. It is brilliant. Mark.

Very disappointed with this knife sharpener. Was having better results with a sharpening iron! Whereas the instructions say you only need to draw the blade gently through the sharpener 5 or 6 times, I found that even 3x this amount barely made any improvement. On the fourth occasion of using it, the suction cup broke away from the central post, rendering it unusable.

finding a totally smooth surface for it to stick to was a problem in our kitchen...the first one we ordered literally disapeared from our house. best guess, it lost suction where it was attached and either fell directy into the recycling or was placed in there by our two year old.So with the replacement, we have to keep it in the drawer and stick it to our glass hob when we want to use it, with a chopping board in front to top the blade hitting the glass. really sounds far from ideal when you put it like that, but the knives are excellently sharp like new if not better.

My husband had owned his previous knife sharpener for years and there was 'nothing wrong with it', except it was rusting and scruffy and not really doing the job! Anyway I ordered this and only told him once the deed was done. Of course the discussion about his trusty sharpener happened again but this time it was too late. This arrived a couple of days later, I was surprised at how little and neat it is but don't let that fool you, this is one heck of a knife sharpener. Our supposedly sharp knives were given the treatment by it and hubby had to concede that this was better than his. Not just better, but absolutely brilliant, high praise indeed considering he didn't think we needed it! It sticks like glue to the worktop so you feel safe using it, it's also small enough and attractive enough to leave out on the worktop which saves the rifling through the drawer in search of the hideous, slightly rusty, almost antique thing we used to own!

Well a kitchen gadget that actually does what it says it will do, surprising but true. For decades I have been manually sharpening all our knives, finally it is becoming way too much hassle so I thought I would try this gadget. The suction is excellent (on a flat surface) so on granite it is great, very stable. It takes a few minutes to get used to but overall the results are excellent. It is important to be smooth with not too much pressure as you draw the blade through the 'V' of the sharpening blades but you soon get the right feel for what you are doing and after that it's absolutely fine.Well worth the money so far.

Wow great little sharpener , was going to get the 9 99 version but it's plastic , I got this one because it made metAl so just my thing of lasting maybe longer , plus seem to have more weight to it , but worth getting than spending out on new knives , i have a cheap knife from the poundshop I had it a couple years and funny enough it lasted longer than my £20 veg knife , I look at the video on you tube and thought no way can a dirty rusty trowel can't cut through paper , thought it was a selling ploy , so after hunting through dads old tools i found it and i tried i , I was amazed it did actually work , so go get yourself one

Stuck to the worktop without budging while in use. Sharpened knives v quickly - proof was the little pile of metal filings left when I'd done five kitchen knives. Not sure how long it will keep its effectiveness but the sharpening parts are replaceable.
