If you own a set of knives, there's a really good chance they need sharpening. Even if you use a sharpening steel every time you cut through a tomato or chop celery, each slice slowly dulls the blade. Of course, you could take your knives to a professional, but not everyone has the time or money for that. What we're trying to say is: This little gadget will save you a few headaches and a lot of money.

Basically, the Kitchellence sharpener looks like a handle with some notches in it. It's ergonomically designed for comfort and lets you control the device. It takes care of your blade in a three-step process: You pull it through the first slot to take care of the big dents and grooves with the diamond rod; the next slot returns the blade to its original "V" shape; and the third slot gives it a good polish. It also comes with a cut-resistant glove to keep you safe.

If you've been thinking about chucking your knives for a new sharp set, consider that this knife sharpener has over 19,000 five-star ratings from some happy shoppers who were considering the same thing.

"I've had my poor chef knife in a drawer and over the last year it's gotten dull and has a small dent on the blade," wrote a satisfied cook. "I just got this sharpener in and used the three steps. And I gotta say I'm impressed. I managed to cut through paper after doing the three-step sharpening. It's like the knife is brand new. For the price and ease of use, I would recommend anyone get this for their home."

"It made my knife set that I was ready to throw away come back to life," reported a rave reviewer. "Worth the money."

"I had dull knives until I bought this sharpener," shared a happy shopper. "It does the job quickly. I liked the glove providing protection from accidental cuts."

"I love this so much," wrote one self-described "obsessed" shopper. "I held off buying a sharpener for years because I thought it had to be electric and expensive. Well, this thing surprised me... it works SO WELL with only a couple of pulls in each slot. I have a whole new set of knives!"
