I only have a steel thingy and probably due to me not knowing how to use it effectively it does a poop job at sharpening!

I'm a sucker. Chose the knife block, sharpener and cleaver to go with it. Still, my Titanium IIs are starting to get run down. Will be a nice replacement set. Thanks!

Edit: Booo! Had to restart the process and now it's not offering me the extra stuff.

Edit2: Deleted cookies and it worked again!

I use a water sharpener for mine, but only on the Global ones because it's a Global sharpener. Not tried it on the cheapy ones yet. Will give it a go with one of the ones where I have a Global equivalent and let you know the results.

Global use a funny angle for the edge of their blade. If you use that sharpener on your other knives you'll just have to work them a bit to regrind the edge, then they will be fine. My knives don't keep their edge so well with Global's angle which means I have to sharpen them more often, but that's it.

Ahh ok thanks. As long as it doesn't knacker the sharpener, I don't really mind

Sharpened my Globals tonight. Makes such a difference when it's done, even though I'm still happy with their slicing ability when they've not been done for a while.

Just to clarify: I have the Minosharp for Global knives and I use it on my normal non-Global knives.

...however, my knives are coming up to 10 years old and I put them through the dishwasher etc...

Yes please Kate... as I was thinking of getting one of the minosharp but don't want to pay ~£30 if it's not going to the right thing for the job.
