I have a manual one that can sharpen both Asian and Am/Euro knives (two separate slots) and then polish in a third slot. Works well. Unfortunately I'm not at home so I can't look at the brand. Maybe Chefs Choice?

That helps - thanks mtnfever!

Cooks Illustrated reviewed manual knife sharpeners several years ago, and this little gadget was their winner. I personally haven't tried it.

Here is a link that might be useful: AccuSharp

I have the Accusharp -- my ever romantic DH bought me one for Xmas. I love it! I have some older knives that I have never been impressed with, even after professional sharpening. The Accusharp has made them wonderfully useful!

Now if I could just stop my DH and children STOP putting the knives into the DW. Arggh.

Warmfridge and rjr - Thanks for the info on the accusharp - I will definately check it out!!

Warmfridge and rjr thanks from me too!

I just ordered one on ebay for $8 including shipping.

I needed a knife sharpener in the worst way!

Thanks, me too. Just ordered from ebay. I really need it.

Thanks so much for the recommendation! Just bought one from Amazon along with a version for outdoor tools (lawn mower blades etc...)
