AnySharp Evo Knife Sharpener

£14.99

We all know that blunt knives actually lead to more accidents than sharp ones, as with a blunt edge you’re more likely to slip and catch your finger. Therefore, keeping your knives sharp is an important task, but for many of us knowing how to go about doing this whilst not harming ourselves or the knife in the process isn’t as straightforward as it may seem. This is where the AnySharp Evo Knife Sharpener comes in to deliver hands-free, reliable and efficient knife sharpening.

The Evo Knife Sharpener we tested was super intriguing in its all-red exterior and compact size. To use you simply place the knife sharpener on a smooth surface and push down the built-in arm which creates a secure suction for the sharpener to your surface. I would definitely suggest checking it is securely fitted before trying to sharpen with it, just to make sure it's stable and safe. However, once secure you then can run your blades through the groove in the top for perfect knife sharpening every time.

The groove sharpens knives at a pre-set 20° angle, which is widely believed to be the perfect angle for a sharp knife. One of the best bits about the Evo model from AnySharp is that the sharpener blade has been moved towards the front of the sharpener so you can get a sharp edge all the way from the tip of the knife to the handle. This means that no matter when the knife you are using to chop, it will consistently be sharp to prevent accidents caused by blunt knives. The sharpener is even suitable for both hardened steel and serrated edge knives, which means that with a single unit, you can effectively sharpen almost any knife in your kitchen.

One of the innovative features of the Evo Knife Sharpener is that there is a collection tray beneath the top, which can be accessed by taking off the top knife groove section. This ensures that all metal fillings are safely kept together and can easily be disposed of after using the knife sharpener. This feature makes the whole process mess-free and easy to use. However, I would suggest giving all knives a quick wash once sharpened to ensure there are no filings left on the knife before you use it. Plus, once you’re finished with the knife sharpener you can just throw it into a cutlery or utensil drawer as it is super compact in size too.

Overall, the AnySharp Evo Knife Sharpener is a great option for anyone who loves to cook but always finds their knives are blunt. I personally know the struggle of trying to chop things but the knife simply just doesn’t cut through well making it slip and risking cutting yourself. Therefore, the knife sharpener makes a great addition to any kitchen, as it allows even a beginner to sharpen their knives completely hands-free for a safer and more precise slice each time. 

Pros:

• Suction design for sturdy and handsfree knife sharpening
• Preset 20° angle for easy sharpening without needing to find the correct angle to not damage your knife
• Compact design great for storing in a drawer when not in use
