AnySharp Knife Sharpener, Hands-Free Safety, PowerGrip Suction, Safely Sharpens All Kitchen Knives, Ideal for Hardened Steel & Serrated, World's Best, Compact, One Size, Silver

The AnySharp Knife Sharpener with PowerGrip suction is a handy little gadget that makes it easy to sort out dull kitchen knives in seconds. Stick it to a smooth worktop, pull the blade through a few times, and most everyday knives will feel noticeably sharper straight away. The suction base keeps it put, so you only have to hold the knife, which feels a lot safer than juggling a loose sharpener or steel. It’s not a pro chef tool, but for a cheap, compact sharpener that just lives in a drawer and “does the job”, it’s hard to beat

I don’t usually get excited about kitchen gadgets, but the nySharp Knife Sharpener has genuinely blown me away. This thing is ridiculously easy to use — the hands‑free PowerGrip suction sticks to the counter like it’s holding on for dear life, and sharpening takes seconds. No slipping, no wobbling, no drama. The results are incredible. My knives went from “struggling to cut butter” to “slicing tomatoes like a samurai on a deadline.” It’s honestly the best sharpener I’ve ever owned, and I’ve tried plenty over the years. I was so impressed I immediately bought two more to give to family members. When a gadget works this well, you want everyone else to experience the joy too. If you want sharp knives without the hassle, this is the one to get. Absolute kitchen hero.

So impressed. Had blunt knives for months but never got round to buying a sharpener. Now all my knives are super sharp, and vegetables aren’t going flying across the counter. The suction is strong and doesn’t move when you’re actively sharpening. Seems pretty solid and is fairly easy to use. Super small so fits anywhere.

This is smaller than you may think, but it does an amazing job. It sticks well to normal laminate worktop and to marble, which is really useful as you can keep your fingers and hands away from a moving blade that gets progressively sharper! I wet on a sharpening spree and it worked on large and small knives that hadn't been sharpened since new, it gave a noticeable edge to them all. It takes off a visible amount of shavings and I'd recommend rinsing any knife you sharpen before use to get rid of any little metal prices. It does say you can use on serrated blades like bread knives, but the bread knife in my house seems to be permanently sharp so I haven't tested it. It's probably not upto the standard you would need if you're a pro chef, and it may be a bit rough to use in top of the range (or expensive) knives as it does seem to take a lot off but for a normal home cook it worked a treat. For cost and ease of use you're going to have to go a long way to beat this. My only tip is to check the direction arrow on top of the sharpener, it can only be used in one direction!

I have a full set of Type 301 Chroma knives - I wont say what they cost but you could buy a small car with the money. Had them for about 6 years now and great as they were they do go blunt eventually. Being very hard steel the japanese whetstone I bought is frankly a waste of time - soak 20 minutes, faff about with mess and then convince yourslf they are sharp. Frankly they are nothing like the standard when I bought them using one. Having researched everything from powered sharpeners to hand held ones, and being wary of damaging the knives, I thought I would give this a try before buying something more expensive. I tried it first with the least expensive paring knife following the video guide. Gently drawing the knife didnt make any difference and for a second I thought I had made a mistake - no change. I then exerted a bit more pressure, drew the knife back and noted a tiny metal shaving on the worktop, and that the knife was razor sharp. Certainly far sharper than it had been for years and comparable to a new replacement chroma I bought a couple of weeks previously. I then tried it with the bigger knives, and although the curve of some of them (they are all oddly or japanese shaped) sometimes makes it tricky to do end to end sharpening it isnt the tool's fault and in fact you can draw the knife 99.5 % through and across the whole business end of each of them. It did also do the bread knife as promised although I found it oddlu unenjoyable and a bit strange. Probably me but serrated edges are odd. I have read concerns re damage, using up steel edges and so on. I have not experienced any 'chipping' (in fact it has removed a few from the knives)and as for the loss of steel - well I dont see how a knife can become sharp without that happening. In addition if you have decent knives you wont have to do it every time you use them (I have only sharpened them once so far because once you have your edge back they last ages) and it only takes a fraction off. It is so refreshing to have my edges back for cooking and (sadly) isa great talking point when you demonstrate the knives (yes I know the paper trick is naff but doing it with thick plasticky paper and battery packs does impress some people ...) Overall I found it to be a superb product that needs a little practice but it has saved me a lot of money, brought my knife set back to life, and in my opinion is ideal for hard steel as it is difficult to find a domestic product relatively cheaply that can do this. The final point is practicality - I dont want a machine I have to plug - in my kitchen is full of them in what I call the blender draw. It is tiny and the size does not reflect the functionality. I am not a review writer but posted this because there will be a lot of people looking at the product and wondering (probably worried what it would do to decent knives) that will get a whole new lease of life for a tenner or so. Highly recommended.

I ordered this knife sharpener to replace the one I bought 3-4 years ago, which had been excellent but was becoming rather less effective at sharpening knives, I went for exactly the same AnySharp product as the old one as it had been so good. Whilst the new one does sharpen knives well - which is the main thing - the newer version seems flimsier and lightweight (literally, it weighed less than 60g whereas the one bought 3-4 years ago weighed nearly 160g) and was much more solid and robust.

Clamps pretty firmly to the worktop (needs a clean, dry, flat surface as uses suction). Don’t lean on the knife when using or you will find you have tiny ribbons of metal coming off. Easy to use. Only takes up a small amount of storage.

Easy to use & functioaly

Una herramienta realmente práctica para chefs domésticos: gracias a su base de succión “PowerGrip” el afilador permanece firme en la encimera, permitiendo un afilado sin manos, seguro y sin complicaciones. El ángulo pre-configurado de 20° facilita el uso incluso para principiantes, y la capacidad de afilar cuchillos de acero duro, incluso de hoja dentada, es un plus destacado. Compacto, sin cables ni mantenimiento especial, ocupa muy poco espacio. Ideal tanto para renovar cuchillos gastados como para conservarlos en plena forma. Una inversión inteligente para la cocina.

honestly skeptical at first but this actually works! i have a more expensive whetstone setup that is just so difficult and troublesome to use

I sent this to my daughter after visiting her and noticed that all her cutting knives were very dull. She used it straight away and was amazed at how well it sharpened. I would recommend this product

The product works like a charm. I have used it with the dullest knives that I have, and I accidentally cut myself the next use. So don't overdo the sharpening with little disbelief in the product, like I did as it could be dangerous. Best in the price and very easy to use. Complete value for money. I don't know if it works for the three kinds of knives that are suggested as I only used it with flat knives and not the saw kind of knives.
