Versatile, User-Friendly Design A sharp blade makes it easier to get work done quickly and safely. 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.

Thrown out a lot of sharpeners: keeping this one:
I've been looking for a good sharpener for years. I've tried steels (too much skill required for an occasional user like me, and I'm clumsy to boot), big and little rod sharpeners (can't tell if I'm at the right angle), and a variety of honing stones (don't get me started...). I couldn't see paying the money for a "pro" level motorized sharpener. Then I tried this thing after seeing the review in the latest Cook's Illustrated...SOLD. Cheap, easy, safe, and sharpened my favorite kitchen utility knife in... more info
Excellent!:
I got super sharp knives after using this! The price is fair. It is very easy to use, not too big either. Highly recommend it!
One of the best tools in my kitchen:
One of the best tools in my kitchen, I can sharpen any knife inside of 30 seconds. Right before I start a job, during that task, or after to make sure the knife is ready for the next culinary challenge. Quick, clean, safe, easy to use. Can be kept handy in your knife or gadget drawer. Rinse clean with hot water, sanitize with mild detergent. No need to sanitize however if your knives are clean to start with. Your knife blade will be facing up, so make sure it points down when sliding the sharpener... more info
