Buy ZWILLING Sharpening stone

Took a few passes to get the angle right on my chef's knife, but once I did the edge came back better than the pull-through gadget ever managed. The stone holds water well and doesn't dish out quickly, which matters if you sharpen often. Worth the counter space.

I was skeptical about sharpening my own knives, but this stone made it surprisingly easy. It works fast on my chef's knife and left a clean, even edge after about ten minutes. My cutlery feels brand new again.

The stone has a nice weight to it and doesn't slide around on my counter while I'm working. Took a few passes to get the angle right, but my chef's knife is slicing tomatoes cleanly again.
