And it's less than twenty bucks. So it must be a great deal, right? Well, yes and no.

If you have inexpensive knives and want an effortless way to resharpen them, this is a fine choice.

But if you value your knives and want them to live a long, healthy and sharp life, there are better options available.

Granted, those options are more expensive, but if you've already invested in a good set of knives, you'll be happier in the long run.

Option #1 is to sharpen your knives yourself. Not ready to take on a new hobby? Option #2 is to have your knives professionally resharpened. Option #3 is to get a higher-end electric sharpener, like our favorite: the Chef's Choice.
