Great deal here on the Anolon 3 stage wet stone sharpener with bonus Anolon 20cm chefs knife.

The chefs knife is listed at $55 on sale so you effectively get the sharpener for free or vice-versa. http://www.kitchenwaredirect.com.au/Current-Specials/Knife-S… and the sharpener on its own is listed at $43 http://www.kitchenwaredirect.com.au/Current-Specials/Knife-S… The sharpener usually retails for $80.00.

The Anolon 3 stage sharpener is considered to be one of the best in its price range and is pretty highly regarded as far as semi-manual sharpeners go. The Anolon universal knife sharpener uses three different sets of progressively coarser ceramic wheels inside a water chamber to hone your blade after each use or sharpen an overly dull knife.

    Progressively coarser? Wrong way!

    A $9 Trojan silicon Carbide combination stone from Bunnings and a bit of research and practice is going to actually sharpen your knife and not ruin it like this silly thing.

    As for the knife, eh, believe it or not a knife's performance depends largely on how it was sharpened and looked after, so once again, go get a stone and find out what you're doing before handing money over for gadgets.

      But then you won't get to say things like:

      "This is a bit dull, I need to get my Anolon".

      The Choice review seems to disagree with you.
      Maybe if you know what you're doing, you can get by with a stone. But if you don't know how to use a stone properly, you can ruin expensive knifes with them more easily than with a tool like this.

      As an aside, I have an Anolon knife set at home, and the knifes are of very good quality. Very well balanced, and so far they stay sharp without sharpening.

      and a bit of research and practice…

      A lot of practice, and a couple of knives that'll need to be re-profiled after you've learnt on them..

      If you're interested in learning to sharpen knives free-hand, or you place no value on your time, by all means learn with a stone. If you just want to cook, and see having sharp knives as just a means to get to that end, a semi-manual sharpener like this will suit you just fine.

        …if you are interested in learning to sharpen with a stone, a lot of the Asian grocery stores sell a range of combo stones for about $6 (meaning you can work from course to fine for a neater edge), and will sell you some cheap knives to learn with as well. Some of them sell cheap butcher's steels too. Pick up a piece of scrap leather for a hone/strop, or some cardboard and some Brasso/metal polish, and you're good to go.

          The Asian grocery store stones use AlO not SiC, are more out of flat and are harder to lap.

          You're overstating the difficulty of achieving an edge once you know what is going on. Also the damage you can do to a knife on the way.

          Choice are full of crap in this case, pull-through sharpeners leave a damaged or weak edge, and wear away too much steel, and the sharpness they give is terrible even in the best case. They are terrible, but only people who have held a proper sharp knife before will realise.
