Instructions

1. Buy an electric knife sharpener compatible with all or most of your existing knife set. You can't use any knife in any knife sharpener. Buying a compatible sharpener helps ensure that you don't have to replace all of your existing knife set.

2. Shop for electric knife sharpeners that come with at least a one year manufacturer's warranty. Products sold without a warranty may not be the quality you desire.

3. Make safety a priority and purchase an electric knife sharpener with a guard. You're less likely to cut or scratch your hands with these models compared to models without a guard.

4. Look for electric knife sharpeners with features for multi-stage sharpening. A high-quality knife sharpener offers features that allow you to sharpen, steel, hone, strop and then polish your knife.

5. Choose a sharpening surface when you compare electric knife sharpeners. Some of the most sturdy surfaces include diamond and ceramic.

6. Find out the specifications of the knife sharpener. Know how much space it will take up on your countertop, how easily you can pull it in and out of cabinets, and how quickly it sharpens your knives.
