Review of the AnySharp knife sharpener

Can I Sharpen a £1 knife with the AnySharp knife sharpener?

Testing the AnySharp knife sharpener.

Worked surprisingly well!

I bought one a couple of days ago. As I have severe arthritis in my hands but love cooking, sharp knives are a must. I have a drawer full of gadgets but this one really works - easily. It took me a while to get an edge on my most used, bluntest knife. I've sharpened everything -boning knife, filleting knife, steak knife and my serated bread knife. Yes, it is noisy! It was the fact that I could replace the blades eventually that really sold it to me. I've now got scarily sharp knives now - I love it

Youre putting waaaay too much weight on the knife, you arent supposed to put pressure on the knife as it will shred it

Thanks for this video. My dyspraxics hands really struggle learning traditional sharpening. But, I wasn’t exactly in a rush to run my knifes through a cheap little contraption that might damage them. At least I know now it’ll do a passable job.

A tiny drop of veg or any consumable oil will stop the vibrating and will help preserve the stones.

There are many different branded versions of this device and all are from China. As it happens I had two branded as Jervis Walker from Australia and the suction cups did not work until I disassembled them to figure out a fix and then made room with a file to insert a washer to increase the throw of the suction plunger. The other one I have which is branded something else, I now see has a metal plate that serves that purpose and so I guess I just got a couple of a bad batch with no quality control and so the parts were missed out. Other than that, I think they are great as long as you draw the blade through vertically and at 90 degrees to the blades - in line with the guide - and apply some downward pressure but do not go mad.

“Just going to get another knife to open it” - Wasn’t expecting to see a karambit.

A very helpful video to put this on my budget shortlist. Cheers

Will it sharpen a heavy duty carbon steel cleaver?

[cancerianlove]

Would this be any good to sharped a paint (scraping) stripping knife please?

[Hackbridge]

Just bought one and there's a lot of material coming off the knife and it is not much sharper.

I purchased one today and I tested it, it's working fine.

Currently using one as I watch this and it knocked my blade and is not sharpening at all

[chriswesley]

The question I have is - how long will it last? They ALL work well for the first few weeks, but in my experience, they do not last even a few moths.

Thank you here in Italy it is sold as “Star Cuisine Sharpener” in surplus stores.

Does that suction thing work - where you pull the handle down?

[alexgoodhindconditioning]

the sharpener where did you get that karambit 😍😍😍

[tahirpatan]

2 years later. Does it work like brand new?

I never had much luck with the anysharpener, it always took chunks out of the blade and was never that sharp
