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

AnySharp is safer by design
		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 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
		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.

Ecological, money-saving

AnySharp is a 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
		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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Works OK on soft knives, but not a replacement for professional sharpening for quality knives, May 18, 2010

This worked very well on my Swiss Army Knife. It also worked very well on a cheap supermarket knife. It did not work well on my nicer Henckles or Wusthof knives. I think the Henckles and Wusthof knives are a harder steel and the Anysharp just couldn't bring them to their best sharpness. I will take these knives to a professional sharpener every year or two, so I am very familiar with the feeling they have when they are freshly sharpened. This did not bring them to that level of sharpness.

For softer knives, it worked great and I would recommend it. It did not harm my Hunckles or Wusthof knives.

I have never taken the time to write a review but this great product deserves all the attention it can get. AnySharp really lives up to its claims. I have owned every knife sharpener from a grinding wheel, oil stone, electric sharpeners diamond and otherwise, as well as an assortment of hand held devices which are all retired now that I have AnySharp. It is safe. It is fast. It can make a cheap super market knife cut like an expensive German knife. Yes the cheap knives may not hold the edge as long but with AnySharp you can restore the edge with a couple of strokes. I have restored old knives to service with this sharpener. It also reaches and sharpens the entire blade better than wheeled devices. I just wish I owned the company or at least a couple more sharpeners for the camping and fishing.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Really IS a Great Knife Sharpener!!, January 8, 2010

Like many people who have reviewed this product, I too was looking for a sharpener that was easy to use, didn't cost a bundle and REALLY worked. I've tried many, and have wasted a lot of good money in my quest. Well, my search is finally over. After receiving this tiny device only a few days after I ordered it on Amazon, I went to work sharpening every dull knife I could find. First, let me say the suction really works well -- there was no loosening at all of the sharpener from the counter. How did it sharpen? Unlike some of the vendor's claims, there was no way I could sharpen any knife with just a few strokes. It took between 10 and 15 strokes to sharpen the blades, but what I was left with were knives that were sharper than when I bought them. I have a big set of quality Gerber kitchen knives, and I was happy to see that the sharpener did not appear to scratch, mar, or damage the blades at all -- something that I can't say for the other sharpeners I've tried. It worked as well on my less expensive knives too. My only gripe -- and it's a minor one -- is that there's a bit of cleanup involved, as fine shavings from the blade accumulate on the counter and in the sharpener itself. But if that's what it takes to sharpen my knives, that's a small price to pay. I'm interested to see how well this device works after I've used it 10 or 20 or 50 times. Will it continue to perform like new? If not, I won't complain. At such a low cost, I can always buy another.
