- Zigurd 1y agoI use one of these: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/skaerande-knife-sharpener-black-50289169/ https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/skaerande-knife-sharpener-black... It's cheaper than an electric sharpener and doesn't carry the risk of taking off too much material from a blade due to overenthusiastic use. I am 100% certain that there are multiple people on this thread that could tell me I'm getting less optimal results than their tools and/or method. I don't care. I'm getting results that work when I cook. I don't trust myself to get the angle right with a diamond stone.

I have one, I use it on my knives every 1-2 months. My knives will last decades rather than "lifetime" but I don't care... they're always sharp and I don't have to work at it. I can buy new knives.
