Bottom Line

This versatile sharpener adapts to a blade's thickness to create a precise and custom finish.

Pros

Blade guides hold knife at the perfect angle. Suction cup feet add stability. We love that it can rejuvenate 15-year-old knives and even improve their original sharpness.

Weighing less than 1 lb., this sharpener is light but highly effective. Three settings enable even dull knives to return to a polished and crisp-edged state. Ergonomic handle offers a good grip. Comes with lifetime warranty. We love that this sharpener comes with a protective glove for added safety.

Cons

An adhesive bottom would be ideal given its lightness.

    One gadget, a multifunction sharpener, can help you keep your household blades sharp. Multifunction sharpeners can be electric or manual. If you don’t sharpen your blades very often then a manual model is probably all you will need. On the other hand, if you like your scissors and knives honed to a fine point at all times and you use them often, an electric sharpener that removes all the guesswork would probably be a better choice. Some models include several belts with fine, medium, or rough grit, letting you adjust the sharpener to your blade.
