Buy a whetstone - A little tip-
The tungsten carbide blades can be turned around once you find it hard to sharpen a knife, you can swap them side to side and back to front so you can use all 4 sides, metrofour15/01/2022 06:55

I’ve bought a steel, tried different angles, different directions, still blunt. Tried a whetstone, just ends a up watery mess. I think this is my last hope! unless anyone has a definitive guide to using a steel handy?!
A steel will never sharpen a knife if a new edge is required, you will need to use a whetstone until you create a burr.
A steel will keep a knife sharper for longer as over time the tip of the edge will bend and become misaligned. A steel fixes this.
There's a good guide here reddit.com/r/s…ed/- Had one of these (AnySharp) for years. Sits in the drawer and every 3 months or so it gets pulled out, stuck to the wooden worktop and my favourite couple of knives get run through it 3 or 4 times. 2 minutes tops and my knives are always sharp. Years of sharpening and the knives are none the worse for it.
Why have a super expensive knife when it is this easy to sharpen a nice cheap one? (edited) - Bought this and I am very happy with my purchase.
(edited) - I wouldnt recommend this, its a knife edge stripper. Id use a fiskars knife sharpener because you can drop water onto the stone and it does a nice edge.
- Don't buy these kind of knife sharpeners they will destroy your knives. They destroy the edge and in the medium to long term will ruin your knives.

I agree that guns don’t kill people, people kill people. Blunt knives are dangerous - a blunt knife requires more pressure to use and can therefore slip. A sharp knife is smoother to cut with. deleted63434014/01/2022 14:52

It's not the same. Knives are a necessity in life outside of warfare. Guns aren't. Only an Idiot could make a peacetime comparison.- Every time I see this sharpener come on offer I notice the same old comments i:e don’t use them on your best expensive knives they will mess them up but anyone who spends there money on a good quality knife should know how to sharpen it anyway and shouldn’t be looking at these in the 1st place I recently bought one for around the same price just to see what there like to use on some cheap old knives around my mums and they do sharpen knives and scissors well but I agree they are very harsh and shave too much metal away but are a great product for the intended market.

I would only use one of these for those Taylor’s Eyewitness knives that your sister bought you in a set one Christmas, just to make them reliable backups when you’ve got a lot of food on the go.
If I paid £190 for a knife I'd want a chef on the other end of it! 🔪🔪🧑🍳- I bought this to bring some very dull knifes back to life. It worked well enough, but now lies at the back of a cupboard somewhere - with many other gadgets lol. I now use a steel to prevent them going to dull. It is best to never need something like this in the first place

A steel only helps maintain the edge between sharpening. No good if you haven't got a sharpening tool- I have cheap knives and use one of these to sharpen them all the time. Just get in the habit of sharpening knives. Sharp knives are safe knives!!!
- great for sharpening the edges of credit cards too!

I use one of these on cheap ‘utility’ knives but not on my expensive ones.- I have 1000/3000 whetstone and must admit it's very therapeutic to sharpen all my decent knives. But, I do have a few backup chunky knives and would rather use something like this sharpener than waste my time and add wear to my whetstone. These knive sharpeners also can bring a damaged/chipped knife back to a point where you can finish off with a whetstone. Great deal. (edited)

Does it stick on granite ?
Yes- Thought this would be a gimmick but it worked really well on an old set of knives that I had. Stuck to my worktop, shaved it 3/4 times and it was done.
- Had one of these for a while, that's a great deal. It works well, just be gentle with the pressure otherwise it will chip the blade.

Whetstones are £15 On Amazon- Forgot to add... I gifted one of these to my mum a couple of xmas's ago and she was a bit 'meh'. Two years on and she still raves about it and regularly lends it to neighbours!

sorry is it free to collect ?
If you order online a delivery charge would be payable (edited) - You can use this to get the edge and hone it with a stone or steel. Bargain and heat.

- This is what happens to your knife blade after some time using this thing. A zoomed in photo. Had to buy a whetstone to restore the blade.
- These wont destroy anything if used correctly and are good for a quick touch up before use whilst further maintaining the edge with a wet stone and steel. The trick is not to apply to much pressure.

Exactly. Not too much pressure and just 2 or 3 runs through usually does it. You get a feel for it. I have a whetstone but have not used it for years now. This will not 'ruin your knives' if you use it correctly.- I'm lazy af and couldn't bother with whetstones, angles, grits and associated palaver. Got one of these when they came out many years ago and it's simply the easiest and best sharpener I've ever used. I don't have expensive knives, like I'm guessing 90% of people.
This is the perfect kitchen tool and I got the best feedback of all stocking fillers ever many Christmases ago.

A gun I imagine would maintain the same severity consistently.
No need to be sorry, its quite alright to have an opinion and its good to debate differing opinions.
Knifes that are blunt require sharpening or recycling. This is the part a a fool will skip & increase their chance of an accident. "Stupid is, what stupid does" as they say. - Does it stick on granite ?
