The Best Electric Knife Sharpener.
This three-stage electric knife sharpener was rated best after rigorous testing by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute for sharpening ability, ease of use, and features. Unlike lesser knife sharpeners that use a hollow grind, creating a thin, weak edge susceptible to flexing and cracking, this superior unit grinds a double bevel edge that is stronger and maintains its sharpness longer. Also rated as the top electric knife sharpener by Cooks Illustrated magazine, the device has three slots that each perform different sharpening functions, only requiring you to slide the knife blade through the slots; the first sharpens the blade using 100% diamond abrasives, the second has a hardened miniature steel that forms an edge with microscopic serrati
ons, and the third uses a patented stropping disk to polish the edge. Before testing, knife edges were run through a wood block and struck with a hammer to dull and roll the blades, and the sharpener consistently removed imperfections in the blades and produced edges that sliced through a tomato's firm skin on the first pass without damaging the flesh of the fruit. The sharpener scored highest for ease of use because it has elastomeric guide springs in each slot that automatically maintain the optimal sharpening angle, it resharpens straight-edge, serrated, Asian-style, utility, and sporting knives in ten seconds, and unlike lesser sharpeners that could not accommodate the entire knife blade, this one sharpened blades from tip to bolster. 4
1/4" H x 9 3/4" W x 4 1/4" D. (4 1/4 lbs.)
