Keep your kitchen knives in peak condition with the dual-stage OXO Good Grips Non-Slip Knife Sharpener. Cutting and dicing with dull knives is not only inefficient, but it’s also dangerous, which is why every home cook should have a knife sharpener on hand to keep their straight blade kitchen knives of any size sharp and smooth. The Non-Slip Knife Sharpener has two slots: the first one contains Tungsten Carbide to sharpen blades with a few quick sliding motions, while the second one features ceramic to smooth out the newly sharpened blade. The non-slip base and soft touchpoints on the handle help keep the Sharpener and your hands in place while in use, whether you are right- or left-handed. The stainless steel accents complement any kitchen décor, and the small footprint and sliding handle make for convenient, compact storage. (Not for use with serrated blades.)
