Any sharp

[Stinky]

What's the difference between the £9 classic and the £30 pro?

Looking at getting on of these for my mum for Xmas! Before I run off to Asia travelling!

How are they rated!? Seems to have good feedback

I've got the blue one. It's good at rejuvenating blunt knives, but it cuts quite a rough edge on the blade. I still use a steel to clean up the edge after using the Anysharp.

Not a lot; both will knacker your knives eventually.

The Pro comes with a whole host of absolutely useless accessories which aren't worth the extra money. If you want to get one of these things, go for the blue model.

I have a Mino Sharp, seems good so far.

If you can't learn the skill/get on with/use traditional whetstones, this is a lazy, easy, non-skillful alternative (but it does need effort)

Lansky

This system can get blades fairly sharp. I have, in the past, sharpened a 9" chef's knife and an 8" carving knife (amongst many others) using the Lanskey system

It's relatively cheap too - don't get the diamond version though - it's too aggressive.
