 I must be an idiot September 30, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I must be an idiot. I can't sharpen knives no matter what type of apparatus I use. I have a Chef's electric sharpener and can't get an edge. I have other hand sharpeners and they don't work for me. I'd like to say that the AccuSharp 001 knife sharpener turned the tide. Well, no it didn't.
Mixed Results September 20, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this due to positive reviews, price, and small size.
So far, I've used it (following package directions carefully) on a small paring knife and a large chef's knife. The paring knife seems a little sharper than before, but the results on larger knife were pretty bad. There are now small nicks in the blade that weren't there before, and I assume they are the reason the blade cuts worse than before.
Maybe it's just harder to keep the sharpener balanced correctly while running it down the longer blade? I'll probably just use this on the smaller paring knives from now on, but even for limited use, the price constitutes something of a bargain, IMO, and it's US-made to boot.
 Works September 16, 2008
Still surprised ... so many sharpening devices I tried were useless, but this one seems to work.
Great sharpener, easy to use September 9, 2008
This is a great little gadget. I bought one for myself, and then another for my son for a birthday. If you are careful with it, you can put a real edge on a knife with just a few strokes. I got a good price, and was impressed with the good packing and very quick delivery.
 Spend the extra $10 and purchase the Wusthof 2 Stage Knife Sharpener August 27, 2008

Overall: fast, efficient and small but I question the safety and also the need to hone the blade after sharpening.
PROS:
1. Portability - small enough to keep in your tool- or tackle-box.
2. Fast - a few runs of your dull blade through this sharpener and you are ready to go.
3. Sharp - After a few runs, my kitchen knives were immensley sharper
CONS:
1. Safe? - I left a question mark on this one for two reasons: (a) The slot where you slide (to sharpen) the blade is very small opening. You need to take care that the blade is securely wedged inside and not sitting on top of the white plastic. (b) Inherently in the design you can see that your fingers and arm are inches away from a newly being sharpened blade. So long as the blade is securely contained in the wedge you are fine. I would have preferred to see the design keep the motion of the being sharpened blade in a direction pointed away from my hands/arms to feel safer.
2. Honing needed - This sharpener puts a nice edge on the blade but you still need to hone the blade afterward if you are looking for a finely sharpened edge.
IN SUMMARY:
I believe this is one of the most economical sharpeners on the market. For the money it does the job very well. I would recommend that you also consider very strongly the "Wusthof 2 Stage Knife Sharpener" as it looks safer and also includes a section to hone the blade as well. I will be returning mine for the Wusthof.
