AccuSharp 001 Knife Sharpener Reviews

Review by JW Coltrain:

This is a tremendous invention! I was a pro chef for about 15 years.

The customary way to sharpen knifes was a steel and or flat stone.

I have bought and used various “sharpening systems” and had ex-

pensive electric diamond sharpeners. However, this device is the

fastest, cheapest, and best one I have ever used. It puts a very

sharp edge on all knives (almost razor sharp), and sharper than any

0 electric sharpener out there. And for the average 8″ chefs knife,

takes about 20 seconds! Get one of these and you will be amazed

how something so simple works so well.

Review by J. P. Becker:

Do not, repeat, DO NOT buy some 0+ electric knife sharpener that may or may not be any good. I got a tip on this from Cook’s magazine, which reviewed several products and rated this the top manual sharpener. (By the way, Cook’s definitely did not recommend the dumb Rachael Ray-sponsored sharpener with the curvy blades and high price tag.) For about , this product honed my fancy German knives, and also the old knives I’ve had for 20 years (chicago cutlery/faberware kinds of knives) that have been dull for a decade. After 20-30 strokes with the tungsten sharpener, those knives were cutting paper like on a Ginsu infomercial (though I didn’t try them on a beer can)! I can’t say it loud enough–buy this, and you will not be sorry. In fact, buy it for yourself, and get one for anyone you know who appreciates a sharp edge when chopping vegetables.

Columbia River Knife and Tool 9070 Guppie Black and Grey Multitool Reviews

Review by Steven Kunkle:

The Guppie is an almost useful tool, but falls short. The crescent wrench portion does not open very far (1/2″) and so is useful for smaller nuts only. It also has a lot of play in it so that it wobbles and has to be held in tension re adjusted constantly to use. The screwdriver portion is OK but can’t get into tight spaces as the bits are quite short. The knife appears to be acceptable but I have not used it much to see how long it will hold an edge. The little built in LED flashlight could be useful, I don’t know how long it will run on the small battery, but for emergency repair it puts out a reasonable amount of light and is magnetic, so it could be stuck to something metal while you tighten a loose bolt.

In summary, it is cute, but could be better made, especially the wrench.

Review by Hesright:

The GUPPIE’s most unique feature is the adjustable wrench. You just don’t see that feature on multi-tools, at least not at this price range. No wonder the Guppie receive best buy awards. Toss in a sharp knife, a handy exchangable bit screwdriver and the nifty little LED flashlight and you’ve got one handy compact tool that fits in the palm of your hand. Great value.

Mastering Knife Skills: The Essential Guide to the Most Important Tools in Your Kitchen (with DVD)

As the number of gourmet home kitchens burgeons, so does the number of home cooks who want to become proficient users of the professional-caliber equipment they own. And of all kitchen skills, perhaps the most critical are those involving the proper use of knives.

Norman Weinstein has been teaching his knife skills workshop at New York City’s Institute of Culinary Education for more than a decade—and his classes always sell out. That’s because Weinstein focuses so squarely on the needs of the nonprofessional cook, providing basic instruction in knife techniques that maximize efficiency while placing the least possible stress on the user’s arm. Now, Mastering Knife Skills brings Weinstein’s well-honed knowledge to home cooks everywhere.

Whether you want to dice an onion with the speed and dexterity of a TV chef, carve a roast like an expert, bone a chicken quickly and neatly, or just learn how to hold a knife in the right way, Mastering Knife Skills will be your go-to manual. Each cutting, slicing, and chopping method is thoroughly explained—and illustrated with clear, step-by-step photographs. Extras include information on knife construction, knife makers and types, knife maintenance and safety, and cutting boards, as well as a 30-minute instructional DVD featuring Weinstein’s most important techniques.

Tool Logic SVC1 Survival Card I Tool Card with Knife, Fire Starter, Whistle, Compass and Lens, Translucent Black Reviews

Review by Austin Barlow:

I’m a college student who’s been interested in emergency preparedness and wilderness survival for the past few years. I’m also majoring Emergency Management. I like to have as many of the essentials on me as I can at all time. For anyone who’s interested in making their wallet into a formidable survival aid, I recommend this product. The knife is fantastic, and all other components (even the compass!) function flawlessly.

Review by nuter77:

This is my second card tool from Tool Logic. My first one was Card II with LED light option instead compass and lens.

Overall this is nice useful tool but compass is really piece of junk, dial has problem with rotating, it gets stuck very often.

It wasn’t even worth so send it back so I decided to keep it anyway.
