From The Manufacturer

Don’t let the small size of this cutie fool you. This pint size tool is a work horse in the kitchen. Use it to quickly and easily sharpen your favorite knife in the comfort of your own home. Use the KitchenIQ Edge Grip to quickly sharpen your damaged and dull knives and for everyday knife maintenance. This gem sharpens damaged and dull knives with just a few pulls through the coarse slot. This slot includes carbide blades at preset angles to quickly bring a dull knife back to life. Then quickly finish and polishes the knife edge with just a few pulls through the fine slot. The Edge Grip’s small size is ideal for storing in your knife drawer and for anyone with a small kitchen or little storage space. Work Smarter in the Kitchen Who doesn’t want to work smarter in the kitchen? A great tip to remember is to keep your knives sharp. Don’t let them go dull. The Fine slot on the Edge Grip is ideal for regular knife maintenance with its gentle ceramics. These ceramics will polish the knife edge and keep it sharp. So run the knife through this slot every time you use the knife. A sharp knife definitely speeds up prep work in the kitchen. Edge Grip Feature Gives More Flexibility when Sharpening The Edge Grip is designed with a unique feature called “edge grip. ” What does this mean? Well the bottom of the sharpener has been designed to allow the sharpener to rest on the edge the counter top or table. Why is this helpful? Sometimes when you sharpen a large chef’s knife with a smaller sharpener, you might drag the tip of the knife across the counter top. This can damage the knife or worse the countertop. So sharpening on the edge with the edge grip allows the knife to pull through the slots from heel to tip. Of course you can still use the Edge Grip on top of the surface but isn’t it nice to have flexibility when sharpening if you need it? The bottom is made of a non-slip material that allows for safe and sturdy sharpening.

Expert Reviews


What experts liked

There is a V grip in the bottom of the sharpener. This v shape grip is used for edge or counter. The soft grip handle of this sharpener gives you the ultimate comfort.
The manufacturer developed the V grip bottom. This feature allows you to place the sharpener and use it on different surfaces. As the end result, this model can be used on slippery surfaces or any other surface you have in mind.
Easy To Use, Ergonomic Design – Kitchen IQ have really taken the time to think through this design and as a result you have a dumbed-down, fool proof device. The 2 stage sharpening slots (coarse and fine) are clearly labelled and easy to distinguish by the different material being used (carbide for the coarse, and ceramic for the fine). The v-grip bottom is a particularly nice feature for kitchen use. This, along with the ergonomic comfort grip make sharpening a knife very smooth and easy.

What experts didn't like

This knife sharpener is not suitable for all types of high-end knives.
Budget Knife Sharpener – You have to understand that the Kitchen IQ Edge Grip 2 stage knife sharpener is a budget knife sharpener! Let that sink in for a moment……Okay good! If you’re under the impression that this is the right sharpener to restore the edge on your $300 expensive knife set, then think again. Not taking anything away from this sharpener as it is a wonderful product, but I would suggest you use this sharpener on your less expensive, budget knives. This is actually perfect for putting an edge on your everyday knife.
