Tools and Hardware Reviews of AccuSharp Knife Sharpener With Replacement Blades
Customer Review: The WOW Factor!
Summary: 5 Stars
OK I received my new AccuSharp Knife Sharpener today in warp-speed time. I immediately took it out, saved the card and extra blades in a kitchen drawer, then I went on a tear. I started with scissors - at least 10 of those (oops don't use on scissors! I've ruined 10 and have quickly ordered the scissor sharpener and TWO more knife sharpeners), then on to the Henckels (my husband turned white) but goodness gracious we could skin a bear with those knives now. Not to be outdone, my husband took out the Henckels sharpener to a 10" chefs knife (the old butcher crossed swords look) even after I had sharpened it with my new treasure. But when he got into the act he was VERY pleased and impressed with it. I've sharpened four pruning shears with another four or five of those to go. Some of the pruning shears don't open wide enough to allow you to sharpen the entire curved blade. Even if this thing stopped working today it was worth every penny paid for it. It's so simple to use that even a child could use it. Simply hold the knife, blade up, in your left hand at waist height and with your right hand pressing the sharpener over it from left to right and visa versa for you lefties. You will get "the feel" for it immediately. It is near impossible to hurt yourself with this; you would have to be one of those klutzy women on the TV commercials who can't flip an egg with a spatula without the special tool they're selling.Customer Review: Fantastic Knife Sharpener, Made in the USA, True Lifetime Warranty
Summary: 5 Stars
This is by far the best knife sharpener I've ever owned. The tungsten carbide sharpener bits require only a couple of passes to restore just about any knife's original sharpness. I tried it on half a dozen knives and the operation is quick, efficient and effortless.
The manufacturer claims that the sharpeners should last for several years but, surprise, you can get double its life by reversing the bits - all you need is to remove 2 screws, reverse the bits and then tighten the screws back. The manufacturer's claim was persuasive enough for me to not regret saving a few bucks and actually ordering the version that does not include the replacement blades.
For non-commercial users, the manufacturer promises to fix or replace any unit for any reason if the owner returns it with $4.00 to cover postage and handling. There are no lawyery warranty exclusions or exorbitant fees or requests to provide extensive documentation. Now THAT's what I call a honest warranty policy.
I am very happy with this purchase and I am happy to note that not all of our manufacturing went overseas. If you need a knife sharpener I just can't see how you could get any better for the price. I'd say "go for it!".
Customer Review: THE BEST BANG For YOUR KNIFE SHARPENER BUCK Out There.
Summary: 5 Stars
Hard to believe this knife sharpener for this price really works, and it works exceptionally well also. I have about 5 or 6 knife sharpeners hanging around the house that I have collected over the years that fall into the category of they kind of work. This one I can honestly say does work. I never thought it worthwhile to buy one of those hundred dollar + sharpeners, since I only do major carving 7 or 8 times a year. Now I am glad I didn't, the Accusharp probably sharpens as well or better than most of the high priced sharpeners. This model comes with extra blades, well worth it for the price. You will pay 2 or 3 times more if you order the blades later. Make sure you read the directions first although this sharpener is extremely easy to use, it works a bit differently than most other sharpeners.
Today I sharpened my long and short handled pruning shears that have not been sharpened for over 6 years, and extremely dull. With the exception of the extreme inside of the curved blade "which is hard to reach" they came out nice and sharp again. Saved me the expense of buying new one's, which I was thinking about since these where just not cutting well anymore.
Customer Review: Works Well and Easy to Use - Highly Recommended
Summary: 5 Stars
The AccuSharp Knife Sharpener works much better than I expected it to for the relatively low price we paid. This is a very simple gadget that is very easy to use and puts a very fine edge on almost any blade.
Using the sharpener is easy but be sure to read the directions on the back of the package. You start by placing the knife on a counter, with about 1/2" hanging over the side and then run the sharpener gently over the blade two or three times (the plastic guard protects your fingers). I noticed that on some of my knives I had to do it 6 or so times before the edge took, likely because the knife edge was originally at a different angle. I like that the tungsten carbide sharpeners can be reversed when the original side wears down and replacement sharpeners are also available AccuSharp 3036-2024 Knife Sharpener Replacement Blades.
It is great having all of my household knives sharp again, and it took far less time to do all of the kitchen knives than it took to write this review.
Highly Recommended!
Customer Review: Speedy & cheap way to save old knives!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'll admit it. I'm a bad, bad knife keeper. I never, ever sharpen my knives. I tend to let them just go dull and complain about how they never cut anything ever. My husband complains bitterly about them, but I never wanted to spend $50 or $100 on an auto-sharpener that I may or may not figure out, and that may or may not work well.
So, after seeing a rave review of this manual sharpener in an old issue of Cook's Illustrated, I decided it would be worth trying out for $13. If I could sharpen my EXTREMELY DULL knives, then I'd be happy. If it didn't work, I was out $13.
Works like a dream! In under fifty strokes (about a minute) my lousy old knives became sharp new knives! No more sawing at tomatoes! No more slipping off of peppers! No more tearing meat! It even sharpens scissors! And for $13 it's a bargain! The sharpener even ships with a set of replacement blades.
It's easy to use, hard to screw up, extremely efficient, and a bargain. I would recommend this to anybody!
