Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Save your old blunt knives, make cutting easy again!

 

Whether you're slicing meat, dicing vegetables, or carving the Sunday Roast, a sharp blade makes cutting effortless. AnySharp restores a super sharp cutting edge to blunt knife blades that have dulled with use.

Works with all your knives - even serrated blades
The unique, patented AnySharp uses tungsten carbide technology to extend the life of almost any knife. AnySharp works on virtually any knife, including expensive hardened steel knives and even serrated blades (like bread knives and hunting knives), making it unlike any knife sharpener, steel or sharpening stone you've ever used.
 

Works with all your knives, even serrated blades

(Not suitable for extremely fine-toothed serrated knives).

AnySharp is safer by design

Attaches anywhere, safe to use single handed

Plastic top protects your knife

 

 

1) Patented PowerGrip - Safer for you
The AnySharp's unique safety feature is its PowerGrip suction cup base, which attaches securely to any smooth surface or worktop without the need for any tools. In fact, it will attach to any smooth surface anywhere. You can even use it on a vertical surface like a tiled wall! Once it's attached you can sharpen any knife safely single handed - keeping your free hand out of harm's way!

2) Polymer Protector - Safer for your Knives
When your whole knife has been run through, your knife edge may touch as it exits the sharpening tools. The AnySharp has a long-lasting polymer guiding top that is softer than metal, and therefore won't damage the metal edge, making it safe for your knives too.

3) Needs only light pressure. Less chance of accidents!
With a totally blunt knife, AnySharp will hone it to a perfect angle, and remove excess metal rapidly the first time you use it. Once sharp, better results are gained by using only light pressure, and only microscopic amounts of metal are shed.


No skill required. Anyone can get great results!

The perfect sharpening angle

 

The optimum angle to sharpen a good quality steel knife is 20 degrees. AnySharp is pre-set at 20 degrees to give a perfect edge every time. Getting a consistent angle with a sharpening stone is a skilled job, but AnySharp allows anyone to get professional results without any training at all.

Once you have fixed the AnySharp to a work surface, you can sharpen knives easily and safely using just one hand. All you need to do is just gently draw the blade through the tungsten carbide sharpening edges, 3 or 4 times to restore a super sharp cutting edge.

Do remember, very little pressure is needed with AnySharp and to wipe the knife before use.


Store it easily and conveniently out of the way

Easily store in a draw

 

Since it is so small and light, AnySharp can be easily tidied away in a drawer, cupboard, or tool box when not needed. AnySharp is small enough to store in your kitchen drawer. You could even PowerGrip it to your fridge or tiled kitchen wall, out of the way yet handy when you need it.

 

AnySharp
Ecological, money-saving

AnySharp is a an eco-friendly product that makes your old, blunt knives perfectly usable again and extends their useful life. For many people, AnySharp can pay for itself in just days.


10 Year Product Lifetime Warranty

10 year Lifetime warranty

 

AnySharp come with a No-Quibble performance guarantee for the operational lifetime of the product, which is about 10 years, or 10,000 operations. The lifetime warranty covers every part of the sharpener, not just the sharpening tools.

AnySharp Global is the best knife sharpener you will ever use. Guaranteed.

Directions

The handle on the top of the unit should be up. If it is down, pull it up. It is important to note that the writing on the front of the AnySharp should be facing away from you when using it. Place on the surface, and move the handle down. The suction PowerGrip will hold the AnySharp firmly in place. Just put your knife into the sharpening jaw, apply a light pressure, and pull the knife slowly towards you.
Be sure to apply only light pressure and gentle strokes as you draw your knife through your AnySharp. You are using the correct pressure if the action is smooth, and you get tiny metal filings coming off the knife. If you get no filings at all, or the motion is jerky or sticky, adjust the pressure to suit. The knife edge always faces away from you, and your hands are never near the cutting edge at any time.

    4.0 out of 5 stars sharpens well, 2 Jan 2010
    By 
    Susan Belcher "Su" (England) - See all my reviews
    (TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
    Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
    As the person who sharpens all the kitchen knives for the family I can say that I have purchased (and been given) a variety of machines and objects which all claim to sharpen kitchen knives; and every time I have been disappointed by the results - until now. I was expecting the usual grotty results and then several hours with steel and stone attempting to get an edge back on the knife, thankfully I was wrong.

    This works, and it was honestly a shock.

    It is a very small unit, quite neat really. It has a lever operated suction foot to hold it (relatively) firmly on the work surface - though I have the urge to keep hold of it due to some movement and the occasional failure of the suction.

    With just a couple of angled pulls you start to find that the blade is becoming beautifully sharp, with one exception (and you knew there would have to be something).

    The sharpener works up to the last (approximately) 2cm of the blade. As you get towards the tip of the blade it is hard to keep up the necessary angle and pressure to sharpen it. However, this can be remedied by a minute or two with a sharpening stone - my problem is: if I have to get the stone out to sharpen the tip why should I bother with this sharpener at all.

    I have used this over Christmas and New Year and it has been a speedier alternative to the steel and/or stone that I normally use - sharpening of the blade tips excluded. I would, however, like to see some protective shields for those times when you are forced to hold the sharpener to give it some help holding firm on the counter surface.

    I would recommend that you don't use this sharpener on a kitchen surface that you prepare food on, as it produces a significant amount of fine sharp metal shavings and flakes - these can be cleaned up using a damp cloth, but you can't always guarantee that you have removed them all. It could really do with a small well adding to the design so as to catch most of the filings and so save the counter tops from contamination.

    It is the first time I have ever cut my finger when sharpening a knife. The fine metal shavings went into the wound and it a major headache cleaning them out (hence the need for a protective shield around the external edges of the sharpener).

    All-in-all it is good for sharpening the main part of the blade, but you will still need to sharpen the blade tip separately - other than that, and a couple of minor design faults (which could be easily remedied), it is the only "sharpener", other than steel and stone, that I have had that has worked.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Quick Results, 7 Mar 2009
    By 
    S. Glenister (England) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    This review is from: AnySharp Global World's Best Knife Sharpener (Classic) (Kitchen & Home)
    Without wanting to just repeat what everyone else has said about this product, it works and more importantly it gets quick results, it has a great little suction-cup attachment feature, and its small and neat. BUT...
    I believe this device has its place; when a knife gets so blunt that you can no longer sharpen it with a steel, you can use this gadget to bring the edge back and then hone it with a steel.
    Otherwise you will end up with a sharp edge that doesnt last very long.
    One minor problem I found with it is that it sometimes tended to make my knives one-sided (sharper on one side than the other), this is not an issue as you can correct it with a steel.
    So yes, I would recommend you get this device, but not instead of a sharpening steel, I believe you need both to achieve a perfect result.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Buy One!, 2 Feb 2009
    This review is from: AnySharp Global World's Best Knife Sharpener (Classic) (Kitchen & Home)
    I bought one of these sharpeners at the Good Food Show at a 'show price' of £15.00 although it had a different brand name it was identical.It is without doubt the best and easiest sharpener I have used, so much so that my friends wanted to have equally sharp knives and scissors. I was delighted to find these for sale at a much cheaper price on Amazon!AnySharp Global The World's Best Knife Sharpener
