Looking for the best way to sharpen knives at home or commercial kitchen? AnySharp XBlade is a high quality knife sharpener that works on virtually any knife including standard European steel knives, hardened steel blades and even professional Japanese chef’s knives, making it unlike any sharpener, steel or stone you've ever used. The Anysharp Knife Sharpener with Powergrip suction cup base attaches securely to any smooth surface or worktop without the need for any tools - and once it's attached you can sharpen knives hands free. ​ Just push down the lever to activate the suction securely. Providing over 20kg of force, it's pretty stuck! The Tungsten Carbide sharpening tools ​self-adjust for angle and pressure to hone and sharpen any steel knife from 12.5° to 22.5°. As you draw your knife through the AnySharp pro knife sharpener, the sharpening tools will move up and down with varying pressure. As you draw your knife back, the sharpening action is similar to the fine grinding effect of a whetstone or sharpening stone. As the unit is symmetrical it works whether you are left or right handed. TIP: Wipe the blade before use. Very little pressure is needed with AnySharp, just gently draw the blade through 3 or 4 times to restore a super sharp cutting edge. It really is the easiest way to sharpen a knife.
