A compact suction-base knife sharpener can be a useful addition to a kitchen, but the right choice starts with your knives and worktop. This guide compares the features listed for the AnySharp Pro and AnySharp Evo available at Smart Finds.
Check knife compatibility first
Before buying, read both the knife maker's guidance and the sharpener manufacturer's instructions. A preset-angle sharpener is not automatically suitable for every blade. If you are unsure about the blade material, edge or sharpening angle, check with the manufacturer before using it. Do not assume that a product suits ceramic, specialist or serrated blades simply because it is sold as a kitchen sharpener.
AnySharp Pro and Evo: the listed differences
| Feature | AnySharp Pro | AnySharp Evo |
|---|---|---|
| Base | PowerGrip suction base | PowerGrip suction base |
| Sharpening tools | Tungsten carbide | Tungsten carbide |
| Preset angle | 20 degrees | 20 degrees |
| Other listed feature | Guiding top to help position the blade | Built-in filings collection tray |
| Appearance | Choice of finishes | Choice of colours |
These are product-listing features, rather than results of an independent performance test. Check the selected option on the product page for its current price and availability.
Where will you use it?
Both listings specify a clean, smooth surface for the suction base. Check your intended worktop and the manufacturer's fitting instructions before ordering. Make sure there is room to position the sharpener securely and handle the knife as directed. Do not use the sharpener if its base is not properly secured.
Which should you choose?
If a filings collection tray is a feature you want, look at the Evo listing. If you prefer the Pro's listed guiding top or one of its finishes, compare those options on its product page. Choose based on compatibility and practical features rather than assuming that a more expensive option will suit every knife.
Before checkout
- Confirm that your knife is suitable for the sharpener.
- Choose the colour or finish you actually want.
- Check the full basket cost, including delivery.
- Read the instructions before use, keep fingers clear of cutting edges and clean away filings afterwards.
