I’ve been cooking for the family for over 30 years and rely on my knives on a daily basis. I have about 30 knives that range from a 4” paring knife to a 15” prime rib carving knife.
My knife drawer is full of utility knives, chef’s knives, boning knives, cleavers, vegetable knives, pocket knives and even a Corsican Vendetta knife.
My knife drawer is off limits and the wife knows how particular I am about keeping them organized, clean and sharp. I use a whetstone and strop to keep them razor sharp.
I don’t know what it is about some men and knives, but I’m one of those guys. A major pet peeve for me is dull knives. Dull knives are useless and dangerous.
That being said, you can easily take it to a level that is ridiculous, and invest hundreds and hundreds of dollars in knife sharpening equipment. But truth be told, you really don’t need a knife that will cut tomatoes so thin you can see through them. I’ve never had a need for vegetables cut that thin. You’re prepping food and not performing delicate neurosurgery. You don’t really need your knives to be as sharp as a surgeon’s tools.
I recently purchased this Eversharp electric sharpener and did so mainly to get back some time that I usually spend hand sharpening my knives. I was a bit skeptical until I sharpened the first knife using this product.
I used steps 2 and 3 and made only two passes per side, and the knife/through a sheet of paper with ease. It was sharp enough to shave some hair off of my arm.
The key is to make sure you use very light pressure and allow the weight of the knife to make contact with the sharpening wheel as you pul it through. Use the orange guides and keep the knife against it to maintain angle. No need for pressure. With good technique, you can sharpen a knife in under 2 minutes. No need to wear down your knives, nice and easy.
Once sharpened, you are good to go and don’t need to sharpen them very often. Use a steel to keep your edges straight and you’ll find this sharpener a very inexpensive product. Highly recommended.
*The only negative is that it doesn’t do scissors and the wheels aren’t diamond, but at this price point, it is a remarkable sharpener IMHO.
*This is for home use, and probably wouldn’t be practical in a professional kitchen.

From the manufacturer
Coarse grinding begins the process by creating the proper sharpening angle.
Medium grinding continues the sharpening by giving the blade a precision edge.
Fine honing completes the process. An extra-fine grit ceramic wheel polishes the blade to a razor-sharp edge.

Incredible but be warned
Within 2 minutes, this appliance will turn even your dullest knife into a useful tool. As I mentioned in the video, that knife was pretty useless from the start, many years ago. Now it can cut through paper as well as anything else I used it on later. So this sharpener is definitely as impressive as people say it is. BE WARNED though, if you have a knife that's got a special design or just a knife that you don't want to ruin aesthetically, you probably shouldn't use this sharpener on it. As shown in the photos, it scratches the paint. Maybe that's just due to improper use, but I think I did everything as instructed and unfortunately it messed up the paint higher up on the knife anyway. ANOTHER THING I wanted to mention is that this device will sharpen most of the blade without a problem, but you won't be able to reach the base of the blade where it meets the hilt. There's a bit of a gap between the rotating wheels inside the device and the outside, so your knife is only going to be sharpened as far as you can reach with your knife; if you have a knife without a protruding heel, it won't really be sharpened at that part. Despite those two things though, it's an incredible device. Can sharpen pretty much any blade to razor sharpness within seconds, not a lot of time or skill required. Would recommend to anyone who has/uses knives!
