Review of the AnySharp knife sharpener

[@christiner302]

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

[@SlendyPython]

Youre putting waaaay too much weight on the knife, you arent supposed to put pressure on the knife as it will shred it

[@abdelazizsqualli1004]

I'm really pleased with this! It works like a charm kzbin.infoUgkxDcr-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.

[@ryanclarke4355]

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.

[@CanISharpen]

for what its worth, I still use this on my cheaper knives for a quick fix. I do use far less pressure now that what I did in the video, basically the weight of the knife is enough. hope that helps.

[@Clackvalve2]

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

[@meenayadav5922]

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

[@samkay3544]

They have a 10 year guarantee I believe on an average of three sharpening a week

[@meenayadav5922]

@@samkay3544 I bought it btw It makes the knives serrated at a small level which lasts for 1-2 weeks depending on use

[@marktolner2922]

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.

[@susanp.collins7834]

Will it sharpen a heavy duty carbon steel cleaver?

[@joydivider42]

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

[@chriswesley594]

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.

[@adamzzz5061]

So what do you recommend for knife sharpening? I am not really god when it comes to sharpening on whetstones.

[@davidh7088]

You could try getting a knife sharpener sharpener.

[@chriswesley594]

@@adamzzz5061 I don't know. I have an electric charpener for my workshop and that works very well, but it removes a huge amount of metal from the blade, it's noisy and not something I want set up in my kitchen.

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

[@alexgoodhindconditioning970]

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

[@CanISharpen]

i got it from WISH of all places. I have a video up on a cheap and effective way to sharpen it too.

[@annhitchcock3093]

Thanks. I got one of these for Christmas.

[@ryanllewellyn3472]

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 👍🏼🔪

[@meenayadav5922]

This makes small serrations in the knives which let it cut things I advice to not use this on expensive knives

[@taxibeforesunsetclips7629]

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

[@mrjolly69]

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 KZbin tutorial and you vid popped up😂 A very helpful video Thanks very much All the best 👍👏😉

[@David-fj5lz]

Why not use a light oil to lubricate

[@xmaniac99]

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

[@ziarehman8526]

Yes, many people try to copy the original AnySharp but no-one else quality/performance is as good as the original AnySharp

[@russelljoyce4904]

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?

[@Hackbridge1963]

Just bought one and there's a lot of material coming off the knife and it is not much sharper.

[@tahirpatan]

2 years later. Does it work like brand new?

[@Cheesusaurusrex]

Even proper stones get uneven with a lot of usage, at the price I would be happy if it lasted 2 months personally if I was using them day in day out personally

[@user68te]

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

[@gregbishop3691]

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

[@Barbarous_Wretch]

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

[@marcswan3559]

stong as f...

[@stephan5673]

Cheers for the very Good review.

[@cancerianlove262]

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

[@HA05GER]

In the official ad the bloke sharpens a trowel and then cuts a tomato

[@robertbevill5085]

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

[@SneakyGenius]

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

[@CanISharpen]

technically you could although i really wouldn't recommend it. you'd be far better off learning to use a whetstone for that.

[@SneakyGenius]

@@CanISharpen thanks for the reply

[@callumcreatesriffs]

No XD

[@dannythomson5239]

funny you should ask i was thinking of running my katana through it lol. proper high carbon steel katana bought from Ryan Sword forge of China, exellant katanas at great prices!

[@SneakyGenius]

@@dannythomson5239 I have several katana and use a whetstone for them. Honestly a whetstone is the best for katana, I was scared to use one at first but they are easy to use. Get a high grit one around 8000 grit. There's many videos on KZbin on how to use them properly. Good luck!

[@DinoSpumoni213]

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

[@CanISharpen]

yeah, if anything a little better as its not a coarse on knife.

[@markgilmour5757]

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

[@TranceHeed]

Probably a cheap knife

[@markgilmour5757]

@@TranceHeed No, it happened on different knives, from cheap kitchen knives to expensive outdoor knives, I thought I must be using them wrong. Too much pressure, or unstable hand or other poor technique, but never got a good result. So I learned to use whetstones and a strop.

[@hakanjansson1082]

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.

[@stingyjack7539]

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

[@benjcarter7812]

My thoughts aswell must be advertising not testing

[@tehs3raph1m]

I have one, it works. Makes a knife useable from dull. I'd say it's about as good as a 1000 grit stone, no more.

[@stanmagee]

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! 🔪⚒️🗡️ 🤣😂🤣

Does it work on hunting knifes

[@sbrsportsbook4358]

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

[@rogeriosartori555]

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

[@aleccap5946]

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

[@LordK1996]

The people that would be using these are general cooks at home, not some random-ass pretending he’s a blacksmith apprentice.

[@AQHackAQ]

Most people use their knife to cut some onions and chickens, not fucking elephants. This is already good enough.

[@steendyhrehansen6898]

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.

Dull the knives before you do the video

Its ok not great

[@jakeburrows1614]

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

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

co on odpier...la na tym filmie

[@deepakrana8789]

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

[@kalaharisafari7648]

Rubbish product. Does not sharpen blunt knives

[@kooper1683]

Thanks for the review. It is obviously crap.

[@grayanderson6840]

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.

[@CanISharpen]

Hey, thanks for the feedback. As you can see the packaging was plastic vacuum packing which would be damaged while opening it. I wanted to show the item in its original packaging so people knew what to expect when they have purchased it and also to show that it was a literal out of the box review.

[@johnnyruppel722]

Chill
