AnySharp Knife Sharpener with PowerGrip, Silver, One Size - £6 @ Amazon
Details
Save your old knives
Whether you’re slicing meat, dicing vegetables, or carving the Sunday Roast, a sharp blade makes cutting effortless. AnySharp restores a super sharp cutting edge to blunt knife blades that have dulled with use.
Works with all your knives
Hardened steel The AnySharp uses tungsten carbide technology to extend the life of almost any knife. AnySharp works on virtually any knife, including expensive hardened steel knives.
Serrated knives
AnySharp even works with serrated blades* (like bread knives and hunting knives), making it unlike any knife sharpener, steel or sharpening stone you’ve ever used.
*Not very fine toothed serrated knives.
No skill required
The optimum angle to sharpen a good quality steel knife is 20 degrees. AnySharp is pre-set at 20 degrees to give an optimum edge every time. Getting a consistent angle with a sharpening stone is a skilled job, but AnySharp allows anyone to get professional results without any training at all.
AnySharp is Safer by Design
Hands free safety The AnySharp’s safety feature is its PowerGrip suction cup base, which attaches securely to any smooth surface or worktop without the need for any tools. Once it’s attached you can sharpen any knife safely hands free.
Knife edge safety
When your whole knife has been run through, your knife edge may touch as it exits the sharpening tools. The AnySharp has a long-lasting polymer guiding top that is softer than metal, and therefore won’t damage the metal edge, making it safe for your knives too.
Easy, light strokes
With a totally blunt knife, AnySharp will hone it to an optimal angle, and remove excess metal rapidly the first time you use it. AnySharp does not work well with heavy strokes or too much pressure.
Please use only light pressure.
Store it easily and conveniently out of the way
Since it is so small and light, AnySharp can be easily tidied away in a drawer, cupboard, or tool box when not needed. AnySharp is small enough to store in your kitchen drawer. You could even PowerGrip it to your fridge or tiled kitchen wall, out of the way yet handy when you need it.

sorted byIf your knife is just a little dull, please don't use these...
If you haven't got the patience for a whetstone just use a steel, a few swipes and it'll be razor sharp.
I mean literally, I sometimes test my knives by shaving the hair off my forearm while dry...
I have one of these, it'll last years so it may be more expensive but you'll never need to buy another -

Only use these AnySharp things if a knife has barely any edge at all, then once it has an edge use a steel to hone it when it starts to dull. I can't see this being used more than once in the lifetime of a kitchen knife.
Even then, you have a chance of damaging/taking chunks out of the blade if you're not careful (as someone posted with pics above).
I'd use whetstones to bring a blunt knife back to life instead of this thing but not everyone is confident using them.
I tried one of these things years ago just to see what all the fuss was about. After the first use it went straight back to Amazon. Takes off far too much metal so should not be used frequently, it at all.
If you can't get the hang of a steel, try something like this instead -

A normal hardened/carbon steel 'steel', no need for a Diamond coated one.
Here's an example, but there are cheaper ones that are perfectly good -

Personally I use this one -

I haven't touched my whetstone for years (I was a Chef for a while).
A few swipes on a steel before and after use is all you need to keep a knife in tip-top shape.
I wouldn't put my knives anywhere near that AnySharp (though I did test one years ago just to see what it did, on a junk knive of course).
Even if they don't take big chunks out of the blade, they take off far too much metal.
As well as that, you're likely to change the shape of the blade with frequent use.
The other option is a ceramic/diamond combo sharpener, like this -
amazon.co.uk/Sal…-38
It also has Tungsten blades that do the same thing as this AnySharp that I wouldn't use, there are lots of similar ones so you can look around for one with good reviews.
This one has decent reviews -

I'd still recommend a steel though rather than the above. (edited)

Leave it in the same drawer as your knives. Take it out, slap it on the worktop, couple of strokes with the knife, back in the drawer, job done.
Meanwhile you're still setting up potentially the first of a bunch of a whetstones.
Welcome to hot uk deals. On here they post deals when things are cheaper. This is cheaper, so it's a deal.
These were £5
£6 is a lot chepaer than new knives!
Heat added.
For cheap everyday cutlery it's great, rather than spending a lot more on "fancy" sharpeners.
cheers!
