The Best Electric Knife Sharpeners For Your Household

If your kitchen knives aren't cutting through ingredients like they used to, you'll want to give them a thorough sharpening. While you can use manual sharpeners, electric devices are quicker and easier to master. The ones in this collection feature guides that automatically position the knife at the proper sharpening angle and keep it steady throughout the process.

When selecting the best device for your household, consider the type of knives you're sharpening. Most styles can accommodate serrated and non-serrated knives, as well as blades as large as cleavers. Some can even sharpen sporting knives and pocket knives. You'll also need to consider the country of origin of your cutlery. German and American knives require sharpening at a 20-degree angle, while Asian knives are best sharpened at a 15 to 17-degree angle. The built-in sharpening guides will ensure you're keeping to the proper angle.

Many electric blade sharpeners have a three-step process involved to create the smoothest edges on your premium knives. Be sure to run your knives through each step in the proper order to ensure maximum sharpness. The first stage typically sharpens the blade, and the second hones the blade to give it a better "bite," allowing it to cut through any ingredient with ease. The third step polishes the edge for a smooth, ultra-sharp finish, making your knives look as good as they did the day you bought them.
