The innovative AccuSharp Knife Sharpener lets you sharpen most blades in around ten seconds. Sharpening is oil- and mess-free, and it doesn't require guessing at angles or handling rough, awkward stones. This sharpener's easy-to-use design makes it a great tool to have on hand in professional and personal kitchens, as well as an easy choice for hunters, fishermen and women, gardeners, and craftspeople. Featuring a unique, ergonomic handle, the AccuSharp fits neatly in either hand to accommodate both right- and left-handed users, and it includes a full-length guard that protects your fingers throughout the sharpening process. Fast, Effective Sharpening To get started sharpening, you simply place your knife on a table or counter top with the cutting edge up. Hold the knife handle securely with one hand. Then let the "V" notch on the sharpener straddle the blade, and use your thumb to apply light pressure as you draw the AccuSharp down past the point of the blade. When you first use the AccuSharp on a blade, several passes may be required to make sure that your knife's cutting angle conforms to the AccuSharp angle. But once that angle is achieved the first time, it should take just two or three brief passes to put a sharp edge back on your knife--which means that sharpening fits into your busy schedule instead of interfering with it. Dependable, Long-Lasting Construction To deliver years of reliable use, AccuSharp sharpening blades are crafted from diamond-honed tungsten carbide, one of the hardest known materials. And because even the toughest industrial-quality blades eventually begin to show wear, AccuSharp's unique design allows you to reverse the blade to double its life span. Most users report an average of five to 10 years between blade replacements, which means that it's easy to ensure that your sharpener will be ready to go when you need it. AccuSharp Knife Sharpeners will not rust, and they can be cleaned easily with soap and water or in your dishwasher. What's in the Box AccuSharp 001 Knife Sharpener
Tools and Hardware Reviews of AccuSharp 001 Knife SharpenerCustomer Review: The Best And Easiest... Summary: 5 Stars
I decided to buy this Accusharp hand held sharpener after ruining too many knives on my old grinding wheel. There are quite a few hand held, compact knife sharperners on Amazon to choose from. However now that I have had this Accusharp for a while, I feel I have made an excellent choice.
The Accusharp is just about as simple as they come by design, and to use. The tough carbide sharpening stone does an excellent job with minimal pressure in sharpening any blade with just 3 or 4 light strokes. As soon as I got it I used it not only on all my kitchen knives, but on my various hunting knives as well. I also own a collection of bowie knives ranging from 9 to 16 inches in length. It did an excellent job on all the blades, regardless of the length, style, and width. (The heavier blades requiring just a little more pressure). The package directions direct one to place the knifes sharp side up on a counter and to drag the sharpener over the blade. Though I fully realize that their intention was to maximize safety on behalf of the consumer, I found it a little easier to use by holding the knife in one hand sharp side up, and then drawing the sharpener over the blade in that manner. But thats just me, you may not feel the same way. This position however does not apply to any really heavy, long bladed knives. It is best in the case of a very large knife, (and of course safer), to follow the package directions and lay it on a counter as directed. Although if you use the sharpener correctly it is very hard to actually scrape your knuckles against the blade, a nylon guard between you and the knife prevents that in any event. The very shape of the sharpener puts your knuckles pointing away from the blade. The Accusharp is comfortable, convenient, very easy to use, and most importantly, gets every knife blade I used it on extremely sharp. I am most satisfied with it.
In conclusion, though some other reviewers here spoke negatively of this unit not providing as fine an edge as old fashioned honing with oil and stone would, personally I do not feel that is the point, or the promise of this sharpener. Any blade can be made into a finer shaving worthy edge with a whetstone system. That is if we all had an ample amount of time to spare and nothing else better to do. And I also have not experienced any of my knives staying any less sharp and needing more sharpening with the Accusharp as some other reviewers have made a note of. Personally I feel an edge is an edge and the length of time it stays that way has a lot more to do with the knives quality, rather than the tool or system used to get it that way. One last observation, the Accusharp sharpening stone is reversible. Meaning that after hundreds of uses when the original side starts to wear down and taking more time to do its thing, you can open the handle and reverse the stone, thus essentially starting off with a brand new sharpener all over again. I think this sharpener is excellent and does a very fine job. Its reasonably priced, and, (at the time of this writing), can be combined with something else for free shipping here on Amazon. I think its all the sharpener most of us will ever need and highly recommend it...
