Chantry Knife Sharpener

Really pleased with this sharpener. I had forgotten how pleasurable & easy it is to prepare foods after having gone for so long with blunt knives.

Not sure what the fuss is about with earlier reviews. I'm a chef and I love this product. I would not be without it and I have not had a problem with my knives having jagged edges. A few swipes with this machine (as if you are cutting bread) and the work is done...I've been giving these as presents for friends and family and they all love it!

Bought this several years ago and have been moved to write a review because I've just finished thinly slicing loads of potatoes, peppers and onions and the whole experience was a pure  pleasure thanks to my razor sharp knife - just  like cutting through butter. I can't understand why some people have said that their knives have ended up with jagged edges, and I wonder whether they have been using the wrong sharpening technique - it's important to read the instructions carefully. Recently bought replacement steels which  were easy to fit and have made it even more effective.

The best ever knife sharpener on the market and so easy to use too, a must have item for any kitchen.

I read with interest all the reviews before I bought this item and was a bit worried as a few mentioned that this sharpener damaged your knives.I don't have fancy, expensive chef's knives, just the middle of the road household type; but none the less I didn't want to have to throw them away because they were damaged.I've owned this sharpener for about 6 months and although my knives do have a few rough edges on them now, I must admit it's not an issue and the fact that I have razor sharp kitchen knives to use every day is fantastic. Just a couple of swipes through the sharpener every few weeks, keeps them in tip top condition.
