Messerschärfer

My dad’s hands aren’t what they used to be, so the fact that this sharpener works just as easily with his left hand as my right is a huge win. A couple of light passes on the coarse edge brought my old chef’s knife back to life without any effort.

Eight edges on one little gadget means I don’t have to flip it around or hunt for the right side, and even my dullest chef’s knife came back with just a few light pulls. It’s also reversible for left-handed use, which my husband appreciates more than he’ll admit.

I was half-expecting to have to wrestle with this thing, but my dullest chef's knife went from dragging to gliding in about five light passes. The eight edges mean I’m not hunting for the right side, and the reversible body is a nice touch for when my wife grabs it. Definitely the easiest sharpening
