I bought one of these not expecting much, however iv been pleasantly surprised. A few moderate pressure strokes and my blades were completely revived. Its not so sharp it will slice your finger off just by touching, but its sharp enough to slice your skin deep enough to severely bleed with just a light stroke. iv got the cuts and nicks on my hands to prove it. definitely respect your blade after using this sharpener.

When I first purchased this item, my mom said it was a bad decision. Yet, when I got it, she was proved wrong!!! I bet most knife sharpeners wouldn't be able to sharpen my knife that hasn't been sharpened in like two years up to that point. When I used this simple, simple, idiot-proof contraption, it was sharpened very easily and in not that much time. So if you want a knife sharpener for as little money as possible you're best off buying this thing.

Great value! I recently purchased the Henckels International Fine Edge Stylus knife block set for a smokin' low price, and was concerned that, because they weren't the top of the line Henckels, they wouldn't stay sharp. They did lose their edge rather quickly, but I use them almost daily and the honing steel could only accomplish so much. Faced with a beautiful, though dull set of knives, my first thought was, "Oh, no, I need to buy an expensive and counter-cluttering electric knife sharpener". I know that a sharp knife is a safe knife, and after two slips and cuts, I was ready to take the plunge and spend.Thanks to the great Cook's Illustrated review of this easy to use manual sharpener, I didn't have to! The Accusharp quickly and safely returned my knives to their original razor sharpness--no more cuts and worn out, sore arms and hands from bearing down on my knives. It was easy to get the hang of using it, even for me, a knife sharpening novice who formerly feared and dreaded this task! It's a good, 'intuitive' sharpening tool...you actually can feel the blade as it becomes sharper. A couple of passes with the honing steel to straighten the edge, and I'm good to go! Best of all, no counter space required, goes right in the utensil drawer, lightweight, and you can control how heavy or light the passes are, so no fear of nicking or chunking out a piece of your knife on a grinding wheel.I know that someday I will need to make a trip to a professional knife sharpener for a new edge, but I'm really grateful that this product will keep me going for a while in the meantime.

I had my doubts when I unpacked this sharpener. It seems to be very cheaply made. But it does sharpen my kitchen knives.
