Manual Knife Sharpener 2 Stage Kitchen Accessory, Non-Slip Base, Stainless-Steel, Straight and Serrated Knives, Including Diamond Life-time Guarantee

I've had a few knife sharpening gadgets over the years and they always seemed to end up getting chucked away. But with my kitchen knives becoming blunter and blunter I gave in to optimism and tried this one. Very glad I did, all my kitchen knives are really sharp again. I now keep this gizmo on the work top by my knife block so that I can run a knife through it a few times every so often to keep them sharp and not let them gradually go blunt again. The sharpener is nicely made with a good handhold and a fully rubber covered base that ensures the sharpener doesn't move while in use. The two sharpening sections are easy to use, simple v shapes inset in slots that you just pull the knife backwards through. One set are for coarser grinding of dull blades while the other is for the fine grinding. When I first used it I found I was missing the slot every so often, but with practice I seem to have got better and better. One thing I've found is that it is easier when you do draw the knife through with the point angled slightly down (and it feels as though the grind is more effective too). When I first worked on my very dull knives I gave each blade 20 pulls through the 'coarse' grinder followed by 20 through the 'fine' grinder. This worked extremely well. Since then I've reduced the number of times I draw the knife through. Now I just do 5-6 'pulls' on a knife to keep the blades very sharp. Testing the blade by (only) touching my thumb against it I can feel how sharp the blade is now and I've been cutting through anything and everything again with ease. So, not the cheapest sharpener on offer, but based on the build, ease of use and results I've achieved I'm very happy to recommend it.

This really is a great product, it looks good, works very well and is just the right size. It arrives in smart packaging and immediately looks good when removed from its black box. It has a simple handle which is used to compress the tool against a flat surface to stop it moving around as the knife is sharpened, this simple design works well. The instructions explain that there are two sets of grinding wheels, steel for initial sharpening of blunt blades and a ceramic pair for honing sharp blades into very sharp blades. With the steel sharpener the knife is pulled firmly through at an angle of 20°, with the ceramic it is pulled gently through at the same angle. The result, very quickly, is a razor sharp knife, as sharp as it was the day you bought it! After I sharpened my first knife I was so impressed that I then went through my knife drawer and sharpened all my knives. The operation is so quick and simple that the maker's recommendation that knives be refreshed regularly to maintain their edge seems very reasonable. Just to confirm, I have no connection whatsoever with the manufacturers, they just make a very good product.

This is a review of the PRO Sharpener, which is a knife sharpener available on Amazon UK. The product arrived on time and in ordinary packaging. The product's quality was average and met my expectations, and the design was nothing to write home about. The instructions provided with the knife sharpener were clear and straightforward, and the product was easy to use. However, the product did not offer any unique features that would set it apart from other similar products. Overall, I would describe this knife sharpener as adequate. It sharpened my knives as expected, but it did not leave any lasting impression on me. I would recommend this product to someone who is looking for a basic and functional knife sharpener. However, if you are looking for a more exciting or innovative product, this knife sharpener may not be the best choice for you.

Careful though, it really really sharpens your knives. Wafer thin tomatoe slices. Easy to use and very stable. You only need to run the blades a couple of times through the sharpener and they stay sharp for ages. Remember, you buy this because your knives are blunt and once you've sharpened them, they become a different knife that deserves respect in the kitchen. Great product, great design and gives life to all your old blunt and annoying knives, so, saves money too as you'll not need to buy new ones. Well done the manufacturer. 😁

I have a selection of proper chefs knives. Included in that kit is the sharpening steel to sharpen the blades. I can get them pretty sharp using that, but it's difficult. I decided to buy myself one of these, I'd been looking for a while, and finally settled on this one. Let me tell you, it's the best purchase I've made of late! It's really easy to use. Simply set it down on any flat surface (it doesn't rely on suction, the bottom is covered in a soft material) hold your knife with the tip pointed slightly down (about 20 degrees is recommended) and then pull the knife through from handle end to the tip. Now, you've got two slots to use. You start off with the course one first, usually about 4 pulls through, then you switch to the fine one and do about another 4 pulls. Wash the blade off to get rid of any little bits of metal and then you can cut whatever you want. It can be used left or right handed. I just make sure I have my thumb wrapped around the handle out of the way of the blade coming through, because I definitely wouldn't want to cut myself if I had my thumb out to the side. Seriously, you won't believe how quick and easy this is to sharpen your knives. I'm now easily able to slice peppers and tomatoes without any squashing. Totally recommended.

Ok but not great

Didn't really expect much from a sharper at this price point. I have used plug in electric sharpeners to sharpen and hone the blades of my kitchen knives and these have had excellent results. Unfortunately after a house move I cannot find it. So I purchased this sharpener after all the reviews and also what amazon recommended. Well, impressed so far! Comes in no fuss , cardboard packaging and with instructions. Simple to use; 4 swipes in the left slot ( COURSE), 3 swipes (FINE) in the right slot and my knives are super sharp! really easy to use, and the handle feels sturdy to hold and whilst in use it feels very secure on a a granite work top. An absolute bargain of a tool and compact enough to store away and keep close to hand. How long it will stay perfect I cannot say - but if used as directed I can see it lasting for at least 30 sharpens of a full set ( 7) blades - if not more. Excellent value for money and glad I took a punt on this handy tool.

I've bought two of these which, is a testament to how good they are. The first I bought overseas where I work under a different brand name and this one when I came back on leave because I was so impressed. To expand a little, I have a good sized workshop and typically when I get home on leave I gather up the knives which inevitably my better 3/4 has used and blunted and then I spend an hour or so with my Japanese water stones getting them all back to razor sharp levels. I can sharpen to a level better than most chefs, honestly. But.... after I bought this, I don't bother anymore. Okay, my chisels, planes and other tools are still done on my stones but kitchen knives? Nope. Literally this can take a blunt knife and in less than five minutes you have a very sharp knife. If you are just after a quick hone then a few seconds is enough. I really couldn't believe how good it is. There are two grades of abrasive. The left hand side is a coarse one and the right is a fine ceramic to put a fine edge on your knife. You simply draw the knife through the groove and in a short while you get a keen edge. Only one thing to watch out for. Most people have a tendency to put more pressure on the mid point of the blade and thus eventually you end up with a weird shape. You must make special effort to put pressure on the tip to ensure the shape is maintained. Another quick thing. This sharpener is brand marketed under various names. Just have a search and buy the cheapest. This at the time was the cheapest I could get. Overall, a superb kitchen tool.

My Pro Sharpener arrived a week earlier than expected. Pro Sharpener came with instructions that were easy to follow. Pro Sharpener is effortless to use and it worked. I sharpened 10 knives, all different sizes and improved the blade on each one. Very pleased.

Très efficace! Ravie de mon achat.

Corta vida útil....pero bueno

Selbst für Grobmotoriker mit dem Hang sich unwillendlich selbst zu verstümmeln, kinderleicht zu benutzen, robust und tut seinen Job ausgeziechnet ! Die Messer sind danach verdammt scharf! ^^ 5 Sterne.

Ottimo prodotto. Semplice da usare e affila bene. Non sono un esperto ma quello che deve fare lo fa. Per il momento l’ho usato solo un paio di volte ma sono soddisfatto. Venditore disponibile. Lo consiglio.
