SWIFTY SHARP KNIFE SHARPENER

Product Information :

Swifty Sharp is a cordless, motorized blade sharpener that’s claimed to restore the razor’s edge on any blade in just seconds, including scissors, bread, steak, and filet knives, hedge clippers, and even screwdrivers and small hand tools.

Swifty Sharp is claimed to accomplish this by using a professional grade, high-speed sapphire sharpening stone, in addition to a built-in blade guide that provides the perfect angle for a razor sharp edge. On top of this, Swifty Sharp also features a catch tray that collects shavings, and a compact design that stores easily.

Overall, the manufacturer claims that Swifty Sharp provides safe, easy-to-use precision power sharpening at a fraction of the price of other in-home electric knife sharpeners; all you have to do is press the button, insert the blade into the guide, and slide.

Whether you’re an amateur chef that prepares gourmet meals, or are just looking to extend the life of your cutlery, does Swifty Sharp deliver? Consider the following:

It’s All About the Angle

While labor-intensive knife sharpening methods (such as using whetstones) are fairly straightforward, since you can view and maintain a precise angle, electric knife sharpeners can vary in quality, and might not provide this same angle.

And while Swifty Sharp is claimed to hold blades in the perfect angle, it also has to be wide enough to accommodate a variety of knife sizes. If you can wobble a knife side to side while it’s pulled through the slot, the edge will not be symmetrical.

Granted, in the commercial, we’re only shown one computer generated display of a knife being pulled through the Swifty Sharp, so it’s impossible to say with any certain whether or not this will be the case
