After using two different brands of manual knife sharpeners (lansky and spyderco), I was beggining to feel like whetstones were the best option. Fortunately, Cook's Illustrated had a wonderful review of manual knife sharpeners, and surprisingly enough the #1 rated was less than $10 USD. Putting my trust in CI, I ordered four off eBay (1 for me, 3 for gifts). Here is what I found after using the AccuSharp for one day:
Needless to say, I give this tool an A+.
- Sharpener is VERY easy to use.
- Tungsten Carbide is extremely hard and sharp, and removes metal quickly.
- A surprisingly sharp edge can be produced with minimal effort.
- Pocket knife or kitchen knife, junk steel or super-hard japanese steel -- works great on anything.
Needless to say, I give this tool an A+.
