Edge Grip Knife Sharpener

This Knife Sharpener is one of those kitchen gadgets that makes you feel like a culinary superhero, without the spandex. Stage 1 effortlessly tackles dull knives like it’s a mini construction crew for your blades, and Stage 2 puts the finishing edge on so smooth you half-expect your veggies to salute before being chopped. I’ve used it on everything from butter knives (don’t judge me) to my chef’s knife, and it’s surprisingly satisfying to hear that “shhhhk” as the blade glides through the sharpener. The grip keeps your hands safe, which is great because I like my fingers attached, thank you very much. It’s compact, easy to use, and turns a chore into a tiny victory moment every time you sharpen. If you’ve ever dreamed of being the person who can slice tomatoes paper-thin without effort, this is your gadget. Sharp knives, happy chef, zero regrets. Works fast too!

After years of use (and occasional abuse) my myriad of knives had become dull and to some extent unusable. I had tried using a steel rod sharpener to get an edge back to my knives but my lack of skill (and lack of patience I'm sure) was leaving me with sub optimal results. I figured before I gave in and purchased new knives I would try a knife sharpener. I'll be honest price was an issue when purchasing this item. I would have happily been persuaded to buy fancy new knives (because new things are always fun) so I figured I would put in a small investment into a knife sharpener and if it didn't work out I'd just get new knives. I haven't bought new knives The KitchenIQ 50009 sharpener has been amazing. I don't have knives that cost hundreds of dollars but they started out excellent and after using this tool they are as sharp as they were new. This was quite impressive given how worn and dull my knives were. The two stage sharpening of this item does a wonderful job. If your knives are dull start with the dull side, move to the sharp side and you're done. Each knife only takes seconds to sharpen and the tool takes up little to no room in your drawer. I've even brought this with me to a friends house to sharpen their dull knives as well (after they made a mess of a tomato in my presence, after sharpening they work like a daytime infomercial) I can honestly say you can't go wrong for the price. Please note I only have standard edged knives, and if you have specialty knives with non standard knife edges this item probably won't be for you (as they only sharpen at one angle) but for your standard, non-serrated, everyday knives this item works great and you won't struggle to chop vegetables and cut meat afterwards.

I'm not a huge fan of inexpensive sharpeners. I prefer to use a stone to set the bevel of the blade, and follow it with a honing on an MDF wheel loaded with polishing compound. This produces an edge that will shave hairs, but it takes time. The end result was that I put it off, then I fight dull knives in the kitchen. A dull knife can be more dangerous than a sharp knife because the amount of force needed to get it to cut is higher. I wanted something that would make my kitchen knives reasonably sharp with just a few quick swipes. I decided $6 wasn't much of a gamble so I bought this thing. The coarse sharpener works fine. A few quick swipes will put a reasonably good, symmetric edge on my kitchen knives. The edge is a little rough, but it's sharp enough for most kitchen tasks and it only takes a few seconds. Running a knife through three or four times will produce a small pile of metal shavings under the carbide blades, so it is definitely removing material. The fine ceramic sharpener doesn't do much to remove the scratches left by the coarse carbide inserts-- it's TOO fine, at least on the one that I got. On mine, the ceramic stones loaded up with material almost instantly. They are now glazed and do nothing except lightly burnish the cutting edge. Better than nothing, I suppose, but they don't do much in the way of actual honing. In short, this sharpener does what it's supposed to do. It gets a kitchen knife reasonably sharp with two or three swipes, and it removes the temptation to bludgeon my way through an onion or a piece of beef with a dull blade. It won't produce a really keen edge like a good stone and polish, but I rarely need a knife that sharp for ordinary kitchen work. Definitely worth the $6.

Works great. Very easy to use and sharpens well. Cant beat this value!

This is a great product. Works well does the job. A space saver. Grips the counter. Definitely deserves 5 stars. I gave it three stars bc it was packaged poorly. In one of those plastic bubbles glued to cardboard. Theres no need for irresponsible plastic. It could be protected by cardboard. Also it was really hard to get it out of the plastic!! !

There are about a million (slight exaggerating) knife sharpening tools out there including sticks and stones. Well, sticks and stones may break my bones, but the words, "these sure make my knives sharp" never escape me. I realize there are people out there who can take a 70-year-old knife never sharpened once and a simple sharpening stone and have a knife that can cut through steel. I am not one of those people, but this KitchenIQ 500009 Edge Grip 2 Stage Knife Sharpener* was recommended to me by Amazon when I purchased some knives for my parents. The price was right, and the reviews were strong, so I figured I would just buy one in the process. I am extremely happy with my decision. This sharpener has two grooves--one sharpens dull knives (like mine) and the other just for fine-tuning a sharpened knife. I have had this for about six months now and have used it on all of my knives. They are good knives, but they were poorly sharpened (by me) and have dulled over time as any knife will. This sharpener is so easy to use. Put it on the cabinet, take the knife, run it through the corresponding groove a few times, then you are good. It is tough to mess up with this--if you follow the provided instructions you sharpen both sides at once. My knives are almost as sharp now as they were when I purchased them. Now I regularly use the fine sharpening groove after every few knife uses just to maintain them. You can place this right on your cabinet--it does not slide and is easy to grip on one side. The grooved bottom allows you to place it on the edge of a counter and get a different (better?) angle on the knife when sharpening. I have not used this feature, but I suppose it might be a more natural sharpening angle. To me, just being fool proof is the best part of this sharpener. Thus far, it has held up fine. I would expect it to last for a really long time. It is also easy to store in a drawer--it takes up almost no space. This is just a great little sharpener, and I am glad I found it. *Ever consider a shorter name for your project?

works well for kitchen knives. Small form factor is good for storage, but makes it harder to grip while sharpening at times. Other than, functionality is on point.
