Cutting edge! September 22, 2008

Bought this sharpener after looking at the Salter one which was around 45 and also the Kitchen Devil. After reading the reviews I thought that this was the best one to go for. It is very easy to use and sharpens knives quickly and effortlessly. It really does sharpen well. I used it on normal knives, not global ones. I would say that it's better for the longer knives rather than the short paring knives as it can get to the entire length of the blade easier. Excellent product! Highly recommend it to anyone who wants a sharp blade. Sharpened the bluntest of the blunt!

I have been dithering for some time about purchasing a knife sharpener, after reading the comments of others on this particular model decided to buy.
A good decision, plus a drawer full of sharp knives!

I bought this when I couldnt find anywhere that sharpens knives anymore and saw all the good reviews. It turned out to be a very good decision as the reviews are correct. This sharpens all knives brilliantly even cheap ones. I dont have global knives but this sharpener has easily and quickly sharpened ever knife that I own. Brilliant.
Ideal for a quick, razor-sharp knife - a must for Global users May 30, 2008

I bought one of these because I was tired with dragging out the whetstones each time my knives needed sharpening. I was surprised that this actually produced a far sharper blade than I could with a big whetstone set.
This version will take a knife from completely blunt to razor sharp with very little effort. You could probably do the classic Samurai silk scarf test on a Minosharp sharpened Global knife but it is a little impractical in the kitchen. A reasonable-sized global knife sharpened on one of these should drop through a tomato under its own weight easily.
One slight niggle (too small to dent the five star rating) - it does make a few small scratches on the knife blade. These are no worse than the general wear-and-tear marks they'll pick up with any moderate use and it shouldn't put you off.
If you use Global knives this is a must. Because it is so little effort, you'll keep your knives sharper and thus safer. Worth every penny.
