Sharpener

Options
I have just seen this on Facebook and I am thinking of buying it.


What do others think of it and is it any good?

    These Terms of Service and any separate agreements whereby we provide you Services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of UK

    And the first fail is that you only have the choice of EU or US plug.

    It must either have a UK plug or a proper adapter.

    It is being sold to the UK so I presume it has an adapter with it

    The 288 positive reviews have a lot of obviously fake duplicates. Have you seen good reviews from non-phoney people? Seems very good value if it works

    having had a few electric knife sharpners as a child, when the grindstone wears (a) how much wear before it is ineffective (b) where do you get replacement stones from, and when he fad dies?
