If you're the kind of cook who enjoys hands-on kitchen projects and wants total control over your knife's edge, a whetstone is the way to go. It takes more practice and a bit more time, but the payoff is a sharper, smoother edge that you can tailor to each knife.
Look for sharpal at amazon. The 162 is very popular, coarse grit on one side, medium on the other. There are also many decent waterstones that are not diamond. Shapton and Naniwa do not have to be soaked, you just put water on them, splash and go.
The unanimous top pick across every major testing source. Three-stage diamond abrasive system converts 20-degree knives to razor-sharp 15-degree edges and can resurrect seriously damaged blades.
Half the price of the Trizor XV with nearly as much versatility, sharpens knives, scissors, and serrated blades with a foolproof timer-based system. Compact enough to store in a drawer.
The bench-mounted chainsaw sharpener pros actually use, robust enough for commercial shops, with a built-in work light and wear indicator. Pays for itself after a few dozen chains versus hiring a pro.
The most affordable electric chainsaw sharpening option that includes everything you need, rotary tool, three file sizes, and an angle guide, in one compact kit under $50. Variable speed makes it adaptable to different chain sizes.
