Compact Knife Sharpener
Product number: 14746
Great for storing in a drawer, this lightweight little knife sharpener won’t take up much room but will quickly and easily bring a sharp edge back to blunt, straight-edged knife blades.
With a coarse section to sharpen and a fine section to hone, its non-slip base really grips on to a flat surface so it’s super-safe in use, while the soft-grip rubber handle means it’s comfy to hold too.
10 x 5 x 5cm H. (4" x 2" x 2").

Small, neat, easy to hold - best of all, it's effective. One thing though: the online description states clearly that it's for straight edge knives, but the packaging adds 'serrated knives' (see top right corner). I've tried the Compact Sharpener on old and worn serrated edges and it's truly excellent. Great little gadget!
Thank you for placing your review. We're delighted you like this product. I've asked out webteam to update the details.
Sharpens knives well but the instructions on the package are mediocre. It just states the obvious and doesn't explain how to actually use the fine and coarse to sharpen. I'm guessing just do it a few times on coarse and then a few times on fine.
Thanks for the feedback about the sharpener, I'll pass on your comments about the instructions. You're quite right the coarse slot will sharpen then the fine one will hone your straight-edged knives.
This little gadget has given a new lease of life to our knives. Takes up little room in the drawer, easy to use and a good price. Once knives were sharp we put them in bamboo fibre knife block, bought at the same time, to preserve them. Now a quick swipe every now and again is all they need.
It sharpens knives - but it isn't that easy to hold. (Now I know) I'd strongly prefer something to hold in your hand - this you have to hold in your fingers AND on a surface.
Thanks for placing your review. It sounds as though you'd prefer the Lakeland 2-Stage Knife Sharpener (item 14257) or the Robert Welch Signature Knife Sharpener (item 14747).We'll be in touch shortly to explain further.
