AccuSharp Knife Sharpener, Ergonomic Comfortable Handle, Compact & Easy to Use, Restore and Hone Straight & Serrated Knives, White & Black

Inexpensive, easy to use, sharpens well

I do a lot of meal prep including cutting up ripe tomatoes for salsa. This sharpener works great and is easy to use.

Very sturdy. Excellent sharpener. Easy and safe to use. Bought one for home and one for the cabin!

Now the one thing about these type of sharpeners you cannot press too hard. Put the knife on the counter with the tip sticking out and lightly do as directly. And if you happen to sharpen too many knives pressing too hard. Pay attention when you take it apart because it actually has two more carbide steel on the other side of the one you're looking at. And this time don't press so hard and it'll last for a long time.

This knife sharpener is very easy to use, compact and it does an amazing job. It doesn't take long to sharpen them and boy does it make them sharp! I am really happy with this product. I would absolutely recommend to anyone! It's an essential addition to the kitchen for us at this point, dull knives are dangerous knives since you need to use more force to cut with them!

I decided to buy this Accusharp hand held sharpener after ruining too many knives on my old grinding wheel. There are quite a few hand held, compact knife sharperners on Amazon to choose from. However now that I have had this Accusharp for a while, I feel I have made an excellent choice.The Accusharp is just about as simple as they come by design, and to use. The tough carbide sharpening stone does an excellent job with minimal pressure in sharpening any blade with just 3 or 4 light strokes. As soon as I got it I used it not only on all my kitchen knives, but on my various hunting knives as well. I also own a collection of bowie knives ranging from 9 to 16 inches in length. It did an excellent job on all the blades, regardless of the length, style, and width. (The heavier blades requiring just a little more pressure). The package directions direct one to place the knifes sharp side up on a counter and to drag the sharpener over the blade. Though I fully realize that their intention was to maximize safety on behalf of the consumer, I found it a little easier to use by holding the knife in one hand sharp side up, and then drawing the sharpener over the blade in that manner. But thats just me, you may not feel the same way. This position however does not apply to any really heavy, long bladed knives. It is best in the case of a very large knife, (and of course safer), to follow the package directions and lay it on a counter as directed. Although if you use the sharpener correctly it is very hard to actually scrape your knuckles against the blade, a nylon guard between you and the knife prevents that in any event. The very shape of the sharpener puts your knuckles pointing away from the blade. The Accusharp is comfortable, convenient, very easy to use, and most importantly, gets every knife blade I used it on extremely sharp. I am most satisfied with it.In conclusion, though some other reviewers here spoke negatively of this unit not providing as fine an edge as old fashioned honing with oil and stone would, personally I do not feel that is the point, or the promise of this sharpener. Any blade can be made into a finer shaving worthy edge with a whetstone system. That is if we all had an ample amount of time to spare and nothing else better to do. And I also have not experienced any of my knives staying any less sharp and needing more sharpening with the Accusharp as some other reviewers have made a note of. Personally I feel an edge is an edge and the length of time it stays that way has a lot more to do with the knives quality, rather than the tool or system used to get it that way. One last observation, the Accusharp sharpening stone is reversible. Meaning that after hundreds of uses when the original side starts to wear down and taking more time to do its thing, you can open the handle and reverse the stone, thus essentially starting off with a brand new sharpener all over again. I think this sharpener is excellent and does a very fine job. Its reasonably priced, and, (at the time of this writing), can be combined with something else for free shipping here on Amazon. I think its all the sharpener most of us will ever need and highly recommend it...

I love this sharpener. I have one at home, and I bought one for my mom as well. Most sharpeners require the user to get the proper angle on the sharpener, and if you get it wrong you ruin the edge of your blade. This sharpener is foolproof. You flip your knife over on the counter so the blade faces up, and you run this sharpener down the blade perpendicular to the counter. Perfect edge every time, and razor sharp. A few passes is usually all it takes.

This is the best little knife sharpener to keep in your kitchen! We've used it for several years now and recently replaced the sharpening blades. It does a great job and keeps our knife blades sharp!

I was skeptical when ordering. But this sharpening tool is great. I've sharpened every knife in the drawer including all my fish filet knives. Just need to finish off with a couple strokes on a good sharpening rod to smooth the edge, and you're good to go. Or not. Either way sharp as can be!

La verdad buen producto. Deja los cuchillos muy bien afilados. Por el precio, muy recomendable.

Gran producto, se nota de inmediato el filo que se obtiene a las primeras pasadas.

Afila perfectamente las navajas de caza y cuchillos de cocina, nunca falta en mi morral
