There are pull through tungsten/carbide sharpeners in this style that will deliver a razor edge to a tin can. This one seems to be just shy of a keen, or scary sharp, razor edge, just on the verge of shaving, with my particular set of knives. For what I'm doing that makes this perfect, so no real complaints, but I have seen better results from other sharpeners in the same style. On the other hand though, the suction cup is great, and functions well, even on a porous counter top, for well beyond long enough to sharpen a knife, and that's handy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good but It could be better. *by C***A on Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2015* They work but I don't think they need to be position the way they are, In my opinion they are not better then other cheaper knife sharpeners, I think this item here is much easier to use simple because you don't need to have it in one position all the time. http://www.amazon.com/AccuSharp-1-001-Knife-Sharpener/dp/B00004VWKQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1433018373&sr=8-2&keywords=knife+sharpenerBut I'm not saying this particular knife sharpener isn't good, because it is, it looks better and the style is pretty good so some people might like to have this better.The ability to stick it to a counter it's pretty useful it's also a bit safer for most people. I do recommend it, if you need one. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A clever knife sharpener. *by S***D on Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2015* I saw a demonstration of this sharpener on one of those shopping networks under a different brand name. I've always wished that I could have a set of kitchen knives that performed even half as well as some I've seen on TV. I have some expensive knives, and have been using a simple sharpening rod on them. I never mastered the art of being quick at this as many professional chefs are, but I can get a bit above average sharpness on the one I use most for cutting up raw meats. It will hold the sharpness for a good while, but there's no way I could ever hope to get it to slice through a soft tomato effortlessly as they show on TV. This Blade Butler, though, shows some promise — although I didn't have any soft tomatoes handy to try with it.Instructions say to pass the blade through the sharpener 3 to 5 times in order to get optimum sharpness. I'd say 5 or 6 passes is more like it. With that many passes, it's not really razor sharp, but I can cut up chuck roasts or fish very nicely. With the same knife I can dice onions very well after using this sharpener.I'm not so certain that this sharpener will last very long, though. Given the many reviews of this product under a variety of brand names here at Amazon, I would not be surprised to discover that the lever used to lock down the suction will break as many reviewers have reported, nor would I doubt that the product will lose its ability to sharpen well for very long. At least the Blade Butler is competitively priced for its build quality, so I will be pleasantly surprised if it lasts longer than many of its reviewers elsewhere say it will.The TV demo says this sharpener works on serrated blades, but I was not able to do this. The TV demo also says that this sharpener will NOT work on sharpening scissors. Not a bad little sharpener for its low price from Blade Butler, but I would avoid opting for the higher priced brands. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/2821278-blade-butler-professional-knife-sharpener](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/2821278-blade-butler-professional-knife-sharpener) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
