Review of the AnySharp knife sharpener 

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.

I'm really pleased with this! It works like a charm ru-vid.comUgkxDcr-y2Pf6xdnrFHrSP7dl9kpKaCozcSQ Takes less time than my old electric sharpener because it can take more off the knife faster, and then it smooths out nicely with the finer grit polisher. I don't know how long it will last before the grit wears away, but I wouldn't mind having to replace it every once in a while.

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.

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

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

First and last time I think il ever hear a knife being described as "nice and blunt!" 😂 Thanks for the video, ordered one based from your video 👍🏼🔪

Couple of pounds online? They're 10.99 now! Some increase that.

How many knives were you able to sharp with this ? Is it still working ? please reply🙏

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

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

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.

It's a shame this was not a true test. I can see how differently you hold the paper when not trying to cut!

I was after a knife sharpener and come across the any sharp. I wanted to see it working and thought surely there wouldn’t be a RU-vid tutorial and you vid popped up😂 A very helpful video Thanks very much All the best 👍👏😉

.......forget the sharpener where did you get that karambit 😍😍😍

When you use any sharpener of this type you will get a natural burr. If you are happy to deal with this you can finish with a "steel" Please do not use much pressure when performing this proceedure

Thanks. I got one of these for Christmas.

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

Cheers for the very Good review.

Will it sharpen a heavy duty carbon steel cleaver?

Thanks for this video. Was looking at one of these in Asda today.... can i ask how hard you were pushing down please? It says’ draw only’ but it sounded like a decent amount of pressure... Was it knife weight only or was there pressure on the blade too?

2 years later. Does it work like brand new?

Actual video starts at 02:28

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

You should test with Tomato 🍅

Long term and your knives will be ruined for good. It just removes too much material from the blade. Wouldn't recommend it

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

"There is a little instruction book" *skips part of video*

interesting

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

Will this sharpen a samurai sword? Will it fit in the device?

These will work on ice cream roll blades ? For rolled ice cream …. The ones that look like putty knives ?

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

Hey! Does it still work OK after using it for few months? Thanks!

B4 watchin i was like, wat's the hammer for?!? 🤔 then OMG, ouch!!! bit like a slow chalk-board fingernail drag, but hey, at least u didn't start bashin' the cr*p out of 'em with it! 🔪⚒️🗡️ 🤣😂🤣

Still sharp after you rubbed it on steel... Good knife

Works that well it can sharpen a knife to take the hairs off your arms get it does what it says on the lid 👍👍👍

You are putting way too much pressure on the knife

It wears out... bought one a few months ago... worthless after 6 knives

karambit

Start 3:09. You welcome

Does it work on hunting knifes

Crap tool, this will wear out the knife fast. Tormek T8 rules ! Once a knife is sharpened with T8 you just have to polish it on the honingwheel to get it razorsharp again. I only resharpen my kitchenknifes twice a year and in between just polish using the leather honingwheel. Anysharp may be good for camping.

I bought one of those not good at all

couple pounds? lul 8 pounds more like

Didn't like the way you rub your fingers along the blade...silly thing to do.

On a scale of 1 to 10 for sharpness I give this a 4, best knife sharpener you must be kidding use an oil stone

Its ok not great

Dull the knives before you do the video

I have tested it, luckily my cheap knives. It destroys the knives. It is absolutely not worth the money nor time. Version = AnySharp bought in a respected shop. Don't buy it.

Watching this makes me cringe.l used these in a job i had to sharpen realy cheap butcher type knives for cutting half inch thick slabs of rubber.Dont even think about putting an expensive knife of any kind near this thing,it will totaly destroy it.You have been warned😀

co on odpier...la na tym filmie

Just bought mine what a crock of shit knives can't even cut paper now. Takes off too much metal. I've been fooled.

Knives are not to use to cut paper, Any cheap knife cuts the paper, cut vegetables, or chops the Italian flat parsley, and only after that, you can tell the truth of this little sharpener. truly I don't recommend it to anyone. After seeing many videos over the internet and on youtube I purchase a few days ago, doesn't work at all. no No no no Don't buy

Thanks for the review. It is obviously crap.

Rubbish product. Does not sharpen blunt knives

Do you really have to show everyone how you open the package? Come on grow up now and stop this silly unboxing and unpacking. It's childish and ridiculously stupid. Have the thing ready to review and if you must show them the box then show them but don't stand there and waste time unpacking it.

avoid this at all costs its crap
