The Best Knife Sharpeners make kitchen work easier and safer. A dull knife can skid off the skin of an apple or onion and fly toward your fingers, while a sharp one easily sinks into food, needs less pressure, and gives you more control. A good quality sharpener may actually save you a trip to the hospital.
To find the best knife sharpeners for kitchen knives, we dulled a batch of chef’s knives on a brick, sharpened them with each device, then put them to the test on tomatoes, onions, carrots, and paper. We tried everything from electric models like the Chef’s Choice 120 to versatile tools like the Work Sharp Ken Onion Edition. Read on to learn how each type of sharpener works, then check out our full reviews below.
