Welcome to my Kitchen

If there’s one thing I can’t stand in the kitchen, it’s a dull knife. Whether I’m slicing fruit for breakfast or deboning wild game, I use my knives every single day. A sharp knife makes the job easier, safer, and a whole lot less tiring on the hands.

Usually, my husband keeps our blades razor-sharp, expertly working his sharpening stones. But work has had him tied up lately, and our knives have been feeling the neglect.

I’ll admit, I’m no good with sharpening stones—they intimidate me. So I decided to order a handheld sharpener to tide us over: the Kitchellence 3‑Stage Knife Sharpener. I’d seen glowing reviews—it’s well-built, intuitive, and got almost 20,000 five-star reviews on Amazon.

The first knife I tried it on was one of my larger veggie knives—my go-to for chopping onions, peppers, carrots, you name it. I couldn’t believe how easy it was:

• It was fast and straightforward.
• I could slice a tomato without crushing it.
• The ergonomic grip and non-slip base made it stable and safe.

Here’s how it works: coarse, medium, and fine ceramic slots. Pull your blade through each stage a few times, and you’ve got a sharp edge—no stones needed.

My Takeaway

• Pros: Easy to use, quick, effective, and safe—even for a sharpening novice like me.
• Cons: Doesn’t replace a professional sharpening stone long-term, but for weekly touch-ups? It gets the job done.
• Perfect for: Busy households, beginner sharpeners, anyone who wants sharp knives without the hassle.

Final verdict: The Kitchellence sharpener brought my veggie knife back to life in minutes—with zero fuss. If you don’t have time (or patience) for stones, and you want a sharp, reliable blade every day, this one’s a keeper.
