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

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.

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.

Amazing product. At first I was sceptical that this one is going to actually sharpen my knife, but it does a good job. It is easy to use and store.

Decent but doesn't stay locked to counter top all the time, I stick to hob ...pull knives lightly over blades, don't put pressure

I was fed up with struggling to cut meat with blunt blades. This sharpener is a game-changer. The suction base locks firmly onto any flat surface, making it incredibly safe and easy to use. I just pulled my knives through a few times, and they were cutting like new again. It’s simple, effective, and saved my kitchen prep!

Full disclosure, I use a sharpening steel for my very best knives. It is excellent and I will continue to do so. However, my son was headed off to Uni and had bought himself a few knives to accompany him. He wasn't going to invest the time in sharpening knives with a steel and so we purchased this. If I'm honest, I was sceptical. It's a small, lightweight gadget which sticks to the kitchen worktop via suction (I can imagine some surfaces may be a problem - wood for example). Once secure, you drag your knife through being careful not to press too hard. It does require me to psychologically prepare myself as it feels a bit like nails on a chalkboard (shudder) but it's a quick process. What's good about it? Well, it's compact, sticks really well to the kitchen worktop, is safe, cheap, quick, and easy to use. It also works on serrated edge knives, which I think is a bonus. I've tested it on everything - his cheap knives; my better ones (but not my best ones). It worked really well on all of them. What's annoying about it Not a lot really. His flatmates keep borrowing it, which I suppose counts as a recommendation in itself. He's home for the summer now and so it's living happily in my kitchen. The only downside is it does take metal off your knives and so over time you are probably wearing them away. For me, that is the reason I wouldn't use it for my best, expensive knives. Worth it? I think for something that actually works and doesn't cost a lot of money it is worth it. For the price it does create a sharp blade which makes food prep so much easier. Would I use it on expensive knives - probably not. However, for going to Uni, to take camping, for setting up a first home etc., then I would definitely recommend. I have reviewed this after about six months of use and it is still producing good results and continues to stick to the countertop.
