I have used for almost five years. Works simply and is effective. Not perfect but sharpens in ten easy strokes if knife isn't really dull. I use on pocket knifes, large bladed paper cutters and even household knives. I keep one in my work tool kit and one at home. Follow directions and use light easy strokes, more strokes if blade is dull, not more pressure.

The Accusharp knife sharpener is an answer to a klutz's prayers. I had given up hope of finding a fix for my drawer of dull knives until I took the advice of Cooks Illustrated magazine and purchased this gem. It does what it is supposed to quickly, effectively, and best of all, inexpensively. Don't dawdle, just buy it!

The primary component I used in this kit was the knife sharpener. It was superb at putting an extremely sharp edge on a stainless steel sword that had not yet been sharpened - about twenty minutes per side was enough. The edge is not as clean and polished as sharpening by hand might be, but it is still very effective, and extremely simple. I also picked up a replacement set of sharpening tips, but I have not yet had to use them despite putting brand-new edges on a short sword, and sharpening up several dulled hobby-knife blades, swiss-army-knife blades, an old Ka-Bar knife, and several garden clippers (although I had to partially dismantle them to get a good angle on their blades). Several of these were quite dull, and now they're dangerously sharp. I definitely believe I got my money's worth. I did attempt to use it on some letter openers, but their angle and metal composition do not seem to be compatible. I had my best results with steel or stainless steel. I also tried the scissors sharpener, and it seems to work well, but the scissors I had at the time weren't particularly dull to begin with, so it's more difficult to tell.

I own all the Acusharp products and they do just what they say they will do.
I've used several kinds of knife sharpeners and these little tools are by far the best for my needs.
I now have a block full of very sharp knifes and my kitchen sheers cut like new.

Both of these sharpeners work perfectly. I was skeptical that a sharpener at this price was going to work, but decided to try them based on the reviews and the extremely reasonable price.

Just a few passes over a knife blade and/or scissors is all it takes to get a very nice, sharp edge. After sharpening my pocket knife, I do hone the blade on a ceramic bar, but that is just because I like to keep it very, very sharp. The Accusharp leaves a very tiny burr on the blade edge that the ceramic removes. The scissor sharpener also leaves a slight burr, but that is removed by simply using the scissors.

This sharpener combo is a great value and wonderful product to have on hand!! Thanks for the great service!!

Used this sharpener to sharpen out kitchen knives and several pair of scissors, also tried on a few scrapers and small wood chisels and it did much better than my sharpening stone. Can comfortably recommend to others, and do.

I've used the knife sharpener for years because it's small enough for a little kitchen drawer and 12-20 draws give my French knife a fresh edge (slides through tomatoes after this sharpener). The scissors sharpener took two passes and gave a second life to two pairs of scissors destined for the garbage bin. Worth every penny!

While this will not keep your knives sharp forever, as a quick tune-up it cannot be beat. Knives may not return to "brand-new-sharpness", but they are certainly much sharper than the ten bucks would seem to indicate. Highly recommended for those who don't want to spend $80 bucks on an electric sharpener.

After using a sharpening steel unsuccessfully, I decided to try this out. It works amazingly well and my knives were super sharp after using this product. Not sure about the long-term use of this tool yet, but for now it works wonders.
