Work Sharp Electric Kitchen Knife Sharpener - Get knives ready for cookouts and BBQs- Fits in Kitchen Drawer

Pleased with this compact and effective electric sharpener so far. Really like the fact the abrasive discs are replaceable. It is American made and that was the deciding factor for my purchase among all the choices out there. It is easy to use and fits in a kitchen drawer. Read more

simple to use electric knife sharpener that does it's job VERY well and dosnt break the bank. i highly recommend this product for home cooks and anyone else who appreciates a sharp knife. You probably dont need new knives, just sharper knives. i used to take hours keeping a good edge on Wifey's fav kitchen knives manually sharpening and now its minutes a week. a knife sharpener is a much underrated kitchen appliance IMHO.

Easy to use; holds knives in the proper position, sharpens quickly and turns off automatically when edge is sharp enough. Works best on smaller, thinner knives, not my big Japanese chef's knife. I'd probably get a better edge with a whetstone, but that requires time and skill I don't have so I'm satisfied with this. Read more

This is great, and totally worth the money. The only knife sharpener I ever had before was a small whetstone. I had a bunch of kitchen knives that were in sad shape, all duller than an HR presentation. I read about this one on Wirecutter, and decided to give it a try. Good purchase. You plug it in, turn it on, and run your knives through a few times on each side. It only runs for a short amount of time, so you don't have to worry about overdoing it. Best of all, it actually works. Those knives are sharp now. You can remove part of it in order to make the openings larger, so that you can sharpen something thicker, such as scissors. Don't use ceramic blades on this. You can also sharpen serrated blades, though not in the same way as straight blades. The sharpening wheels are replaceable, which is great, meaning this is not disposable junk. You can also open it up to get the metal dust out from inside. If you want useful knives again, just buy this. There are supposedly better sharpeners, but they are way more expensive, and I'm not about to bring my blades to Chopped or anything, so I am good. You will be too. Read more

This is the first time I've used an electric sharpener to sharpen my kitchen knives. I've used Japanese sharpening stones for years but it's been a bit time consuming as I use two styles of stones to hone the 5 kitchen knives I use every day. I sharpen my knives every week. After looking at several electric sharpener reviews, I decided to buy the Work Sharp Culinary E2 Mini Kitchen Knife Sharpener. This model uses abrasive discs versus their other models which use an abrasive belt. I like the compactness and simplicity but have to admit was a bit skeptical about it's sharpening ability and how long the blade edge would hold. I was pleasantly surprised the blades remained reasonably sharp for about a week. So I continue to sharpen weekly, but it's quick and easy. I registered my E2 Mini with the manufacturer online and received a pair of complimentary replacement abrasive discs from the manufacturer. I don't know how long the discs will last before I needing replacement. Tried looking for the replacement abrasive discs on Amazon but they are apparently unavailable. I went to the manufacturer's website but they only show replacement abrasive belts for their other models. I initiated contact through their website inquiring about the price and availability of replacement discs. Have not yet heard back from them. Here's an update. Changing rating to 5 stars. Shortly after inquiring with Darex, the manufacturers of the Work Sharp Culinary E2 sharpener about replacement sharpening discs, I heard back from them. They said the E2 was a new product and they had not yet updated their web site about replacement discs. They promptly sent a pair of discs. I sharpen my kitchen knives weekly. I've learned how to keep a finished sharp edge on them. So easy to use. Been using the sharpener for over 3 months. Sharpening discs are still good. Have not had to replace them yet. Read more
