Stages & Grits2 (coarse and fine)

A two-stage electric knife sharpener featuring a 20° diamond abrasive angle optimized for Western kitchen knives. Sharpens in approximately 40 seconds via motorized guides, includes a metal dust collection box and a dedicated port for scissors and serrated blades. Black plastic housing with straightforward push-and-pull operation—no skill required. Best suited for home cooks seeking quick touch-ups on everyday knives rather than restoration of severely dulled blades. The fixed 20° angle works well for standard Western chef's knives but isn't adjustable for Japanese or specialty angles. Lacks the precision of premium brands like Chef'sChoice or Work Sharp, but offers faster results than manual pull-through sharpeners at a mid-range price point.
