The SHARPAL 191H Knife and Scissors Sharpener has three different sharpening tools. There's a tungsten carbide tool that's meant to sharpen and repair dull knives, a ceramic blade for honing already sharp knives, and a tungsten carbide blade for sharpening scissors.

To use, you just need to put it on a smooth surface and flip the switch; this creates a strong suction between the product and your counter or table. You then run your knives and scissors through the tool until your blades are at your desired sharpness.

The sharpener weighs less than a pound and is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. It can be easily stored or left out on the counter without taking up too much space.
