Is this a manual or electric sharpener? I can't find anything on this page that specifies which one this sharpener is...

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

It's a manual bit works really well. Sharpens perfectly. Not like the stuf in regular stores

I do not have an electric sharpener so I can't comment, but perhaps an email to Victorinox company can help. I do sharpen my knife on a hand sharpener occasionaly and before I use it every time I give it a few swipes on a sharpening steel to remove any burrs- this works well.

The thing you call a "little white plastic thing" is the knife sharpener. It is not an electric sharpener. Just drag the knife blade between the little white pieces manually and it sharpens the knife. The little white pieces are probably ceramic or similar material. The sharpener works, but it's not exactly great. You can see a picture of this sharpener in use on the Hamilton Beach web site.

Neither. The tag on the appliance says it is 120 V. I just know it works plugged into regular household current. And, this sharpener is the best I've ever used.

Not electric... works well though. Suction clamp to counter and just slide knife through sharpener on top. We like ours.

I don't have that brand of knifes... where in the ad does it say one has to have that brand for the sharpener to work properly?

I got the dual - handheld wusthof one. Black & gray plastic with loop handle. It has four sharpeners in it: asian: fine & coarse + standard: fine & coarse. Wasnt too expensive and worked good for me :-)

I have no idea because I have not yet had to sharpen it. My experience with sharpeners is that it takes quite a while before they would need sharpening, so I wouldn't base a purchase decision on it.

I got mine thru Amazon. electric Sharpener and it is fantastic. I use my knives everyday for everything and I usually cut only on a pad for Kyocera but still need to sharpen occasionally. The electric sharpen solves all my problems! Very satisfied with my purchase. Highly recommend cause I have too many knives to send back to Japan and I do not want to be without anyone of them for that long. I am spoiled and have one for every purpose they have made them so far! I have put steel knives including some of my Chefs knives in the bottom drawer. The ceramic are easier on my hands..less pressure required! I got mine thru Amazon. electric Sharpener and it is fantastic.

No, it does not. I have an electric sharpener in my home, however you could buy a separate hand sharpener that kids can use too. I hope that helps

You can buy the Fiskars hand held sharpener pretty cheap and that works really well!!!

I am not sure if this sharpener works, you should return it while you still can

It.is 120 voltage. However, having used this sharpener for several months I would not recommend it. It tries to put two different angels on the blade edge hence the two different sets of sharpening slots. When I bought it thought there were two different grits to fine the knife edges, not so. I am disipointed in the sharpness of the knife edge after using this sharpener.

It's manual. Not the best quality, but as long as you are not rough with it the thing will last. I have had mine for more than a year now and use it multiple times a week. It's great for the cost!

i have no idea as this is my first but all i have to say is it's the best sharpener i've ever used. it gets just about any pencil to a need sharp point. and i mean my conte pencils, prismacolor etc. even pastel pencils. if it only lasted 6 months i'd happily buy another as the drawings i'm getting from this thing are amazing.

My sharpener would not run on your electrical supply. It's designed for the US market. Perhaps if you purchased a unit from a UK based merchant. I do like my sharpener. Good luck.
