The AnySharp Evo is a high quality knife sharpener which extends the life of any blunt knife in seconds and makes cutting easier and safer. This compact tool is suitable for straight or serrated blades and can be used by novices and professionals alike. For added safety and convenience, it securely fastens to any smooth surface with 200x down force increase and allows for easy handsfree use. The design enables easy removal of any knife filings and the tungsten carbide sharpening edges restore a super sharp cutting edge. With a 10 year guarantee included and a patented design, the AnySharp Evo is a remarkable product unlike any other.
Idea The rubber grips on the upper part enables better grip when accessing the filings collection tray and the tray itself has been indented in order to keep the filings together. An arrow has been integrated into the design in order to signify, which direction the knife ought to be sharpened in. The handle allows easy operation of the PowerGrip suction cup and tucks in neatly when out of use. The tab at the base of the product enables the user to pull the blade off any surface with minimal intervention but only once you've lifted the handle, for safety purposes. Its design delivers a cutting edge performance and does a simple job brilliantly.
Form The AnySharp Evo is small and light so it can be easily stored away when out of use. Nevertheless, its sleek and simple design is aesthetically pleasing to the eye so it can be openly displayed on a worktop or kitchen tile. The handle is integrated within the design of the blade to keep it compact and add to its convenience. The sharpening blade uses tungsten carbide technology, namely the strongest metal to exist, in order to extend the life of almost any knife. The blade also has a long-lasting polymer guiding top that is softer than metal which prevents damage to knives as they exit the sharpening blade, simply extending their life-span.
Function AnySharp Evo has a PowerGrip suction cup base which attaches securely to any smooth surface or worktop without the need for any tools, allowing you to sharpen a knife safely hands-free. With the unit being symmetrical and given that the lever is placed centrally, AnySharp Evo works perfectly for left and right handed users alike. The AnySharp Evo blade is pre-set at 20 degrees which is the optimum angle to sharpen a steel knife. This allows anyone to get professional results consistently without any training. Once sharp, better results are gained by applying only light pressure making it easy for use.
Differentiation Unlike it's predecessors, the AnySharp Evo allows you to remove knife filings with ease. This makes the product easily accessible and enables you to take the upper part apart to access the filings collection tray underneath making the product more hygienic and friendly for everyday use. Whether you need to sharpen a straight or a serrated knife, the AnySharp Evo accommodates all and it benefits from a PowerGrip cup base which has a remarkable 200x downforce increase on suction. Its features appeal to a wider consumer base that is motivated by convenience and which seamlessly fit into a brand that produces high quality innovative products.
