Some Words From Our Customers
Testimonial #5
I bought the first unit for me: it is brilliant. The second for our son for Christmas. Now, I am buying unit No.3 for our other son for his birthday (he was jealous of us!)
Thanks everyone for an excellent product!
Testimonial #4
My sharpener arrived today, I am SO impressed with it. It works so well and after buying several other sharpeners, I really rate this one - it works! I will be recommending it to everyone. Thank you.
Testimonial #3
We are very delighted with the performance of the CATRASHARP. They have been used extensively, sharpening the knife boxes in 15 kitchens and 3 bakeries. This is a superior machine, engineered to the highest standards - highly recommend.
Testimonial #1
Having always struggle (and failed) with numerous knife sharpening tools, I was sceptical about this - especially given its modest price. I was wrong; it put sharp edges on old knives of indifferent quality in no time at all. I will be ordering some for friends and family this Christmas!
Testimonial #2
I am absolutely delighted with the results. I'm a retired chef and have always found it difficult to keep a keen edge on modern knives, especially in a domestic kitchen. I've now honed all my knives and they're back to what I regard as a professional standard. Thanks again for an excellent product!
