Fuck motorized knife sharpeners. This cheap fucking thing both humiliated me and changed my life. I was an Arkansas whetstone-and-leather-strop person for years, but it takes so fucking long to sharpen all our kitchen knives that way. I bought this thing as a scissors sharpener (works great for that too) and found out it keeps our knives nicely sharp with like 1/10 the effort as well.

It's so cheap that when it craps out I'll shell out another $10 for another one.
