The Anago Sharpness Tester range uses one consumable – genuine Anago Test Media which is cut during each test.

The genuine Anago Test Media is specifically prepared for operation within an Anago Sharpness Tester to provide consistent and accurate results.  

Are you using Genuine Anago Test Media?

It has come to our attention that fake test media is in the marketplace being sold as ‘Anago Test Media’.  It is not manufactured to Anago guidelines, nor has authorization been provided by Anago to produce this replica of the genuine Anago Test Media.  Anago takes no responsibility for the variation in Anago Score results when using this fake product.

What impact does it have on my scores?

1. The Analyzer is a finely set up machine – it performs best with no movement in the core and with consistently tensioned media.
2. The tension of the wound test media is key to getting an accurate score – variation and movement has a direct impact on the algorithm used to provide the Anago Score.

How do I spot the difference between the fake and the genuine?

1. Check out the tightness of the white material – genuine Anago Test Media is wound tightly and is very rigid and secure when handled.
2. The packaging – is it a different box to the photo above?
3. The label - each roll is labelled with our genuine sticker as shown in above photo.  
4. Price – we manufacture in both the United States and New Zealand have standard pricing across the world – USD $344.17, Euro €294.16 and AUD $478.00.

What to do if I find I have been supplied it?

1. If you have inadvertently been ordering what is called ‘Anago Test Media’ we can swap out for no cost to genuine Anago Test Media. It is important to get the most accurate and repeatable scores.  Please send an email to sales@anagosharp.com and we will happily provide you with the genuine Anago Test Media free of charge.
