Cangshan Professional 3-in-1 Knife and Scissor Sharpener

The dull knife at the back of the drawer has about a minute left to live.

This Cangshan sharpener restores a factory edge to any knife in the block, and to kitchen shears too, with two stages for Western blades and two for Asian ones. Built in angle adjustment from 14 to 24 degrees means each knife gets the angle it was ground to, while the handle shaped grip keeps fingers well clear and the rubberized base stays put on the counter. Cangshan recommends running your kitchen knives through it at least twice a year.
