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!

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 and we are delighted with it. Highly recommend.

Testimonial #1

Having always struggled, 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.
