Dull knives out! Snag Amazon's No. 1 bestselling sharpener on sale for just $11

Ask any pro chef what matters most in the kitchen, and nine times out of 10, they'll say a sharp knife. But well-honed blades are essential for home cooks too — they make chopping not only less laborious but safer, as you won't have to hack away to cut through your vegetables. If your kitchen knives just aren't cutting it, there's no need to shell out for replacements. Instead, you can do what tens of thousands of Amazon shoppers do and sharpen the blades you already have with the No. 1 bestselling Kitchellence 3-Stage Knife Sharpener. It's been slashed to just $11 as an Amazon Lightning Deal, and with this nifty tool in your arsenal, you'll never have a dull moment in the kitchen again.

Why is it a good deal? 💰

Not only are you getting this kitchen must-have on sale, but the sharpener itself will save you some serious dough by allowing you to restore your old knives rather than splurging on new ones — and for a mere $11 on Lightning Deal (just $2 more than its lowest price ever)? Yeah, it's definitely worthy of a place in your cart.

Why do I need this? 🤔

If you own a set of knives, there's a good chance they need sharpening. Even if you use a sharpening steel every time you cut through an onion or chop celery, each slice slowly dulls the blade. You could take your knives to a professional, but not everyone has the time or money for that.

The Kitchellence sharpener looks like a handle with three notches in it. It's ergonomically designed for comfort and lets you control the device. It sharpens your blade in a three-step process: You pull it through the first slot to take care of the big dents and grooves with the diamond-grit rod; the next slot returns the blade to its original V shape; and the third slot gives it a good polish. It also comes with a cut-resistant glove to keep you safe.

What reviewers say 💬

If you've been thinking about chucking your knives for a sharp new set, know that many of this gadget's 25,000-plus five-star reviewers were considering the same thing.

Pros 👍

One satisfied cook shared: "I've had my poor chef knife in a drawer, and over the last year it's gotten dull and has a small dent on the blade. I just got this sharpener and used the three steps, and I've gotta say, I'm impressed. I managed to cut through paper after doing the three-step sharpening. It's like the knife is brand-new. For the ease of use, I would recommend anyone get this for their home."

"This knife sharpener is the best one I’ve ever used," raved another. "My old knives are now sharper than they were when new. It’s easy to use and only takes a minute or so to put a better-than-new edge on the knife. Now I can slice nearly paper-thin onions, tomatoes, carrots etc. [I can] also slice through meat like butter. ... Great gift for anyone who spends any time in the kitchen. It’s compact and fits nicely into any drawer in my kitchen. Seems durable and should last for years."

"I had some knives that needed a good edge," explained a third shopper. "[One] guy said he charged one dollar an inch, so it was going to cost me about $80 to do them all ... I gave [this] a try and I was amazed. My wife had some of her grandmother's steak knives that had to be 50 years old and dull as a rock. I am not good at sharpening knives, but in less than three minutes, I had these 50-year-old knives slicing through paper!"

Cons 👎

But it doesn't have every setting. "I'm the dinner maker, so I'm always chopping, slicing or carving something," wrote one savvy home chef. "I want my knives super sharp and don't always have the diamond steel out of my work case. This unit has a medium grind, fine and ceramic. Compact, convenient, right there. Now I just gotta make sure the kids don’t run serrated knives through it. That'd be a big oops!" (Psst: This highly rated Orange Ninja 4-Stage Knife Sharpener has a setting for serrated knives.)

"I was worried about the sturdiness while sharpening the knives," admitted another. "It does tend to slide just a little bit on our counters. It did, however, sharpen our knives as advertised."

P.S.: If you don't own a set of knives, or if yours truly are irredeemable and need replacing, you won't do better than this 15-piece set from Henckels. Given that the brand is a household name for its trusty kitchenware, this collection is a steal at $150.
