If you need something done correctly( and fast), then you need to use the right tool for the job. Food preparation in the kitchen is no different. If you ever watched Iron Chef you witnessed all slicing and dicing at super fast rate and precision. Their secret? Years of experience and the right tools , in this case sharp knives. It’s the one thing you can’t do without in the kitchen.

Even if you are proud owner of expensive, high quality chef’s knives made by Global, Wusthof or Kershaw Shun, it comes the time when they do not cut it anymore. It is sharpening time and you can do it easily and profesionally with this kitchen gadget. Tested by Hammacher Schlemmer Institute, this electric knife sharpener earned The Best rating with a perfect score for sharpening ability and was the only model that also sharpened kitchen sheers.

The Best model uses a patented sharpening process that combines the sharpness of a hollow ground edge with the durability of a flat ground edge. The Best model ground edges that sliced through a tomato’s firm skin on the first pass and chopped through spaghetti squash with minimal force, while lesser sharpeners created edges that cut ragged slices of vegetables and could not penetrate squash. Unlike other models, The Best Electric Knife Sharpener created edges that retained their sharpness even after repeated strikes on a cutting board. The Best Electric Sharpener has two slots–one with interlocking diamond-coated wheels that restore the original factory sharpness of any blade and a finishing slot that allows you to manually polish a freshly ground edge or sharpen serrated blades.

Beside saving you day in the kitchen, its cool look and stainless steel finish will go nicely with the rest of your kitchen helpers. You can bring one home for $116.
