Is this sharpener any different from the Accusharp 001?

I'm not sure there's an actual difference. I do use the 001 for kitchen and pocket knives, and some kitchen utensils. I use the 060 for outdoor tools, but, I think the 060 is too light a sharpener for outdoors tools. I more use the Accusharp scissor sharpener for outdoor tools given the blade shape and position.

I don't believe I have used the Accu sharp 001..but the Accu Sharp 060 works really well....

Since I own both, I compared the two, and found that they are the same size...but I could NOT find the numbers you refer to...the 001 and 060...anywhere on the package. I wondered about the blades, even though they appeared to be the same side-by-side, but looking at the replacement blades on Amazon (AccuSharp 3036-2024 Knife Sharpener Replacement Blades), they are meant for ALL Accusharp products. Aslo, I looked at ConsumerSearch website and both tools are lumped together in a description. I bought both to have one inside the house near where I cook (blue hand guard), and obviously one outside in the garage where the gardening tools are (green hand guard). I LOVE LOVE LOVE this product in the kitchen as it sharpens quickly and very well; I originally bought it because it was recommended by America's Test Kitchen, and I am an aficionado of most anything they do or review or recommend. Now, can I please get back to cooking?

I am pretty sure it sharpens to a point... My students complain a lot less about this sharpener than when I had the school pro

I have the suggested sharpener and a regular one. Both work great but I prefer the Prismacolor one

Yes, I use the AccuSharp Knife Sharpener, AccuSharp 001 Knife Sharpener , which works very well then I hone it with a ceramic rod, Smith's 50002 9-Inch Oval Ceramic Sharpening Rod

Yes it is, or so it says on the cutting blade. I will add that this is a very nice sharpener for artist's quality colored pencils. I couldn't say how long the blade will last as I've not had it all that long. The only downside I can think of for this sharpener is that you need something to catch the shavings in.

Hello, I'm not familiar with the angles of the sharpener, but it does have multiple angles. This is a sharpener I bought for my father so I don't have it here with me. I have the older version and was so impressed with my sharpener that I bought one for him, though I like my older one better. In a day and time with so many things I buy and say "Poor quality, junk", I did say I like this item. Why is everything made in China and when are we going to get back 'American made'. This probably doesn't answer your question but it is a nice sharpener for the money. Thanks for the chance to rant and rave...Bring back 'American' !

The sharpener is not why I ordered. The new brow pencils are to dark and smeary. That's why I looked, and found the old pencil. This one always seems to be sharp enough for me

I have a SharpNEasy pocket sharpener. It looks like the friskars and it is bout 3"x3".It has ceramic sharpeners and that is why I bought it. It is an excellent sharpener.

This is a normal manual sharpener with the only difference being that says prismacolor on it

I have not tried using one of those to sharpen it. But I have used every other standard sharpening tool and so far it hasnt received any damage at all.

I have no idea though I have had one for some time. It's cheaper to buy a new one than conventional sharpening unless you can do it all yourself.

Yes it is but I ordered through Bob at Oldawan Tools. I can't speak for stock at other stores. Great guy, good advice over the phone and even got a Christmas Card from them. Will do business with them again. I suggest that you call whoever you decide to purchase from. Love the sharpener!

It actually sharpens very well, and quickly! 8Cr13MoV is a high-grade stainless steel that is slightly softer than, say, AUS-8 (itss most comparative steel, some say). With a good diamond sharpener, I've found that the blade sharpens fast, and stays sharp under normal/moderately extreme use, from breaking down cardboard boxes to carving sandstone (though highly possible, the latter use is not a good use for any knife). Try the Smith's PocketPal sharpener or one of Kershaw's sharpeners. Hope that helps!

I don't know. I found mine to be unusable. It's very difficult to find a good pencil sharpener.

As far as I can tell, the only difference is the blade angle. May even be too sharp- just be very careful - the new blades are like razors!

I really don't know the difference but have been very happy with them.. They also re sharpen well..

No. I ordered separately a two-stage Wusthof sharpener that is rather inexpensive but works very well.
