1. The AnySharp is a rock solid and really preiwerte acquisition
2. I did not think that one can make a sharpener so use safe in this small size. If you go to a really smooth, stable surface mounted the powerful suction base (such. As a ceramic hob) keeps this squeegee bombproof. This ensures that you do not have to hold with the other hand the knife sharpener and the risk of injury is minimal in this way.
Respect for the idea!
3. To result: His skill plays the AnySharp my opinion, especially in rather soft (and may not very high quality.) Steels from:
This, in turn, the knife is drawn through two steels, which are located at a defined angle. Some of small metal chips are thereby "planed".
Of course, the blade always gets by this technique on the one hand the same angle on the other hand a certain roughness of the blade is achieved by the especially when cutting eg fruit like Tomatem, etc. may well lead to a better cutting result.
When cutting wafer-thin slices of boiled ham so fresh is a roughness but a hindrance, because roughness give more help in some cases, for shredding. Here is the view of the cutter rather a razor sharpness desired, the (I anyway with quality knives) can not tease out from the AnySharp.
4. Nevertheless, a massive time saver for me the AnySharp because I (even damascus z. T.) may very well "presharpening" hereby, only to give them on a stone by wet sanding the necessary smoothness and a slightly different angle.
In summary, I think the AnySharp (for my needs) for a low-cost relief.
For someone on the other hand, the SiOH with knives and their sharpness (s) do not want to deal with long, he is gradezu indispensable due to its (still) low price, minimal space requirements, the occupational safety and ultimately quite ordinary result.
But because of the roughness of the cut to be a matter only 4 points, because there is not 41/2 ;-)
