Top Choice #2: Pull Through Kitchen Sharpener
Two wheels, one angle, roll it back and forth. Welcome to sharp kitchen knives in the palm of your hand! The Kitchen Pull Through is an evolution of the carbide pull-through, aka two metal sticks that hurt your body as you rip your knife through. We’ve done away with ripping and replaced it with wheels. Inside this compact and durable sharpener are two wheels, one diamond and one ceramic. They are slightly offset so they sharpen then hone with precision. Pre-set at a industry standard 20 degrees, this little sharpener lives in your kitchen drawer and is always right there when you need it. Start with several passes on both the diamond and ceramic then only a handful of passes on the ceramic every week or so and you’re set for sharp. It’s light, portable, and requires nothing but a back and forth motion.
