Buy ZWILLING Knife sharpener

The pull-through guides clicked into place perfectly on my chef's knife, making the two-stage process feel almost foolproof. My blades have that fresh-out-of-the-box edge again after just a few passes, and the gray housing looks sharp sitting on my counter.

I wasn't expecting much from a two-stage pull-through, but the coarse slot actually reprofiled a badly nicked blade in a few passes. Switching to the fine stage gave it that just-sharpened bite. Even the handle feels solid enough to use one-handed without wobble.

My old pull-through made the edge worse, but this two-stage one actually leaves a clean, even burr after just a few passes. The gray body feels solid too, not flimsy plastic.
