   Why did I wait so long to get an electric knife sharpener? I have no idea. I only wish I had done it sooner. Many years ago I indulgently bought my wife a full set of very nice, very sharp, kitchen knives. Over the year, live has taken a toll on the blades. I occasionally honed the knives on the handheld honer (is that a word?) that came in the block with the knives. What I didn't know is that it was not actually sharpening them. It is intended to kind of reinforce the sharp edge before every use. Needless to say, our knives have been essentially useless for quite some time. It was so bad it almost didn't matter which side of the blade you used to attempt to slice your food, because neither side worked. I finally bought this as a last ditch effort before buying a new knife set. I am extremely happy with the edge this device has put on our knives. It's like they are brand new again! Some of our knives had been badly abused by our kids, being used to pry things open, or used to cut things other than food, and those particular blades took a extra time in the sharpener to get a nice edge on them. But, I was able to put an almost scary edge on all of our knives! I highly recommend this little (and it is smaller than the pictures implied) tool.

   I was hesitant to purchase something so large just to occasionally sharpen knives. It generally bugs me to have a big "uni-tasker" taking up space in my cabinet when I could do the same thing with a sharpening stone and such. However the trick is I have no freaking clue how to sharpen a knife with those things, so I was looking for something that was relatively idiot proof. I chose this model over the others based on the name brand I had heard of and the generally positive reviews. The body is made of plastic but generally feels sturdy. I haven't noticed it sliding around or binding up when I use it. Sharpening the knives is easily... just draw the knife across each of the openings a few times, in turn, and there's an immediate noticeable difference in the way they cut. A few folks have mentioned in their reviews that it "grabbed" the knives but I have not experienced it. I think the key is not to force the knives down... if you have decent quality knives, their weight alone will be enough pressure to make them sharpen correctly. This is basically a grinder, so you should expect some noise from the unit as the stones grind against the metal of the knives, but it was not anything tremendously loud. Also as a result of the grinding you will notice a bit of metal dust, I guess technically filings, on the knives when you're done. A simple wipe down or even rinse should clear that right up.

   I picked this up because I was simply looking for something better than the manual sharpeners, it's amazing. It actually sharpened my butcher's knife so much that it cut through my hoodie when I reflexively wiped it on my side after a rinse while cooking. I've had that knife for 10 or so years and when it was brand new it wasn't that sharp, hence my development of such a lax behavior with it.

   My arthritis makes sharpening my knives manually pretty painful. I make cooking videos so I use my knives a lot. I decided to invest in an electric sharpener, but I didn't expect a lot considering my price range. I did some research and saw that this little machine is often rated in the top 10, and at this price point, that surprised me, so I decided to go with it.
