Finding the Best Knife Sharpener<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn the kitchen\u2014whether you're a professional chef or a home cook\u2014there's no better tool than a great knife. A sharp chef's knife or paring knife is exactly what you need to master finicky techniques like carving a turkey<\/a> or chiffonading herbs<\/a>. However, even if you're very careful with your knives and avoid these common mistakes<\/a>, you'll still need to maintain them with a good sharpening. But how do you sharpen knives easily at home? Sure, you could use a chef-grade sharpening steel, but that's a skill that takes a lot of work to master. That's where a countertop knife sharpener comes in! These electric devices sharpen, hone and polish your blades so you can keep slicing and dicing like a pro.\r\n\r\nBut which countertop gadget is the best? You know our Test Kitchen had to find out. We collected several brands of knife sharpeners in all price ranges\u2014from $20 to more than $200\u2014to see which brought our dull knives out of retirement. In addition to using these sharpeners in our Test Kitchen for several months, our staff put them head to head with these tests to find our Best Loved Brand.\r\n
