Why is it a good deal? 💰

Not only are you getting this kitchen must-have on sale, the sharpener itself will save you some serious dough by allowing you to restore your old knives rather than shelling out for new ones — and for a mere $12? Yeah, it's definitely worthy of a place in your cart!

Why do I need this? 🤔

If you own a set of knives, there's a really good chance they need sharpening. Even if you use a sharpening steel every time you cut through a tomato or chop celery, each slice slowly dulls the blade. You could take your knives to a professional, but not everyone has the time or money for that.

The Kitchellence sharpener looks like a handle with three notches in it. It's ergonomically designed for comfort and lets you control the device. It sharpens your blade in a three-step process: You pull it through the first slot to take care of the big dents and grooves with the diamond-grit rod; the next slot returns the blade to its original V shape; and the third slot gives it a good polish. It also comes with a cut-resistant glove to keep you safe.

What reviewers say 💬

If you've been thinking about chucking your knives for a sharp new set, know that many of this gadget's 23,000-plus five-star reviewers were considering the same thing.

Pros 👍

One satisfied cook shared: "I've had my poor chef knife in a drawer and over the last year it's gotten dull and has a small dent on the blade. I just got this sharpener and used the three steps. And I've gotta say, I'm impressed. I managed to cut through paper after doing the three-step sharpening. It's like the knife is brand-new. For the ease of use, I would recommend anyone get this for their home."

"I love this so much," wrote a self-described "obsessed" reviewer. "I held off buying a sharpener for years because I thought it had to be electric and expensive. Well, this thing surprised me. ... It works SO WELL with only a couple of pulls in each slot. I have a whole new set of knives!"

"I had some knives that needed a good edge," explained a shopper. "[One] guy said he charged one dollar an inch, so it was going to cost me about $80 to do them all ... I gave [this] a try and I was amazed. My wife had some of her grandmother's steak knives that had to be 50 years old and dull as a rock. I am not good at sharpening knives, but in less than three minutes I had these 50-year-old knives slicing through paper!"

Cons 👎

One reviewer said they would have preferred if it had just one more setting. "Wish it could sharpen serrated knives, but no," they wrote. However, they also added: "I like the three separate steps. It is foolproof ... I find some sharpeners to be geared towards chefs who know how to hold the correct angle. I do not, also I'm left-handed, so I need something that will put the knife in the correct position. I would definitely buy this again." (Psst: This highly rated Orange Ninja 4-Stage Knife Sharpener has a setting for serrated knives, if that's of importance.)

"I was worried about the sturdiness while sharpening the knives," admitted another. "It does tend to slide just a little bit on our counters. It did, however, sharpen our knives as advertised."
