Review: Great, fool proof sharpener! - There are about a million (slight exaggerating) knife sharpening tools out there including sticks and stones. Well, sticks and stones may break my bones, but the words, "these sure make my knives sharp" never escape me. I realize there are people out there who can take a 70-year-old knife never sharpened once and a simple sharpening stone and have a knife that can cut through steel. I am not one of those people, but this KitchenIQ 500009 Edge Grip 2 Stage Knife Sharpener* was recommended to me by desertcart when I purchased some knives for my parents. The price was right, and the reviews were strong, so I figured I would just buy one in the process. I am extremely happy with my decision. This sharpener has two grooves--one sharpens dull knives (like mine) and the other just for fine-tuning a sharpened knife. I have had this for about six months now and have used it on all of my knives. They are good knives, but they were poorly sharpened (by me) and have dulled over time as any knife will. This sharpener is so easy to use. Put it on the cabinet, take the knife, run it through the corresponding groove a few times, then you are good. It is tough to mess up with this--if you follow the provided instructions you sharpen both sides at once. My knives are almost as sharp now as they were when I purchased them. Now I regularly use the fine sharpening groove after every few knife uses just to maintain them. You can place this right on your cabinet--it does not slide and is easy to grip on one side. The grooved bottom allows you to place it on the edge of a counter and get a different (better?) angle on the knife when sharpening. I have not used this feature, but I suppose it might be a more natural sharpening angle. To me, just being fool proof is the best part of this sharpener. Thus far, it has held up fine. I would expect it to last for a really long time. It is also easy to store in a drawer--it takes up almost no space. This is just a great little sharpener, and I am glad I found it. *Ever consider a shorter name for your project? Review: >> DOES THE JOB - > The most important thing I learned reading online reviews of various sharpeners (and articles on knife sharpening) is that the key to using ANY sharpener is a very LIGHT touch. Press harder and you ruin the edge. Just lightly pull your knife through this (or any other sharpener) about 5 times. After ordering this sharpener, I tried the "light-touch" technique on the half-dozen sharpeners in my drawer, and "whala", they ALL worked. So I didn't need the KitchenIQ after all -- but it is a nice little sharpener, and is now my choice. > The KitchenIQ is small -- and so reduces clutter in your gadget drawer. > There is no way to safely hold the KitchenIQ in one hand and your knife in the other hand. You MUST use the KitchenIQ on a countertop. > There is a deep (1/2") V-notch in the back of the KitchenIQ.

Try sharpening with the "fine" notch first -- only if that fails try the "coarse" notch. If your knife is very dull and 5 light pulls through "coarse" side, followed by 5 light pulls through the "fine" side, doesn't adequately sharpen it, then it is probably permanently ruined -- discard it and buy a new knife. > Considering a 3-step sharpener? Don't. That's just a phony selling point with no practical merit. > TIPS: Handwash your knifes -- dishwashers ruin the edge (no matter how carefully you place them in the dishwasher). Don't store your knives loose in a drawer. Don't put your knives away while still damp in a wooden (or other) knife holder. ALWAYS use a plastic or wooden cutting board. Never let your knives sit dirty (e.g., with acid tomato juice on them) on the counter for several hours. I hand wash my knives immediately after EVERY use -- even if that turns out to be 5 or 6 times a day -- it just takes a second or two to run them under the faucet. I store them on a magnetic rack. ## Features - KNIFE SHARPENER – KitchenIQ’s Edge Grip 2-stage sharpener features a carbide blade (coarse) sharpener for dull and damaged knives and a ceramic rod (fine) sharpener for polishing and quick touch-ups on already sharp knives. - EDGE GRIP – The patented “V” edge grip allows you to place the sharpener on the edge of your table or countertop to prevent the tip of larger knives from dragging over and damaging the surface of your counters or knife blades. - COMPACT – Quickly and easily sharpen your knives with this compact and easy-to-store sharpener; Kitchen IQ’s 2-stage knife sharpener can easily fit into your knife or utensil drawer and is perfect for anyone with limited storage or kitchen space. - EASY TO USE – This versatile kitchen tool is super easy to use with pre-set sharpening angles that provide the proper sharpening angle every time; The bottom of the sharpener is made with non-slip material for safe and sturdy sharpening. - GREAT GIFT – KitchenIQ’s Edge Grip Sharpener makes the perfect housewarming gift; This kitchen gadget can be used on straight or serrated knives & is a convenient reminder to keep your knives sharp so you can avoid the frustration of dull knives. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001CQTLJM | | Best Sellers Rank | #5,398 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #26 in Knife Sharpeners | | Brand | KitchenIQ | | Brand Name | KitchenIQ | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 97,713 Reviews | | Grit Type | Fine | | Included Components | Complete | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 1.75"L x 1"W x 3.75"H | | Item Type Name | Knife Sharpener | | Item Weight | 14.2 g | | Manufacturer | GSM Outdoors | | Manufacturer Part Number | 50009 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 1 year limited warranty. | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Number | 50009 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 1.75"L x 1"W x 3.75"H | | UPC | 658551462886 795467411161 802569740096 027925501900 716080034544 802569742168 827165751734 642078039041 802569728797 081952940736 729224912523 756635107811 744211306888 027925500095 756635861034 885612436153 885784345215 719279582512 635341675589 602881915857 066883511781 764527051678 097727443135 801881297264 885656049142 802643494150 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** KitchenIQ - **Color:** Black - **Grit Type:** Fine - **Item Weight:** 14.2 g - **Manufacturer:** GSM Outdoors - **Material:** Plastic - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Number of Packs:** 1 - **Product Dimensions:** 1.75"L x 1"W x 3.75"H - **Unit Count:** 1 Count ## Images ![KitchenIQ Edge Grip Sharpener - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ir0WTOdyL.jpg) ![KitchenIQ Edge Grip Sharpener - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61lNmm+mCwL.jpg) ![KitchenIQ Edge Grip Sharpener - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ezxicM1SL.jpg) ![KitchenIQ Edge Grip Sharpener - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71P34QecKgL.jpg) ![KitchenIQ Edge Grip Sharpener - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/8112ZfY2+2L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this work on serrated blades?** A: According to the package, you can sharpen serrated blades on the fine side of the sharpener only. However, I would use a serrated combo knife sharpener like this (http://www.amazon.com/Lansky-3143-PS-MED01-BladeMedic/dp/B0085PPSIQ/ref=pd_sim_200_1?ie=UTF8&dpID=41SK1bQyxRL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=1XY4G6XQJ5VC3THHF9XZ), which handles almost all sharpening tasks. Honestly, the only thing I use serrated blades for is cutting tomatoes and grapes. A serrated edge bites into the tough skin without mashing the delicate fruit and is best when making tomato skin rosettes. I have a great (and inexpensive) Rada tomato knife for that. That way, if it does get dull, I can easily buy a new one. A well-honed blade will cut through everything else easy-peasy. **Q: Can this be used for Japanese knives, which use a 16-17 degree angle as opposed to a 20-22 degree angle? I don't want to ruin my Shun. Thanks.** A: most knifes are at 15de. not 16 or 17. please check with Buck Knifes and see for your self. never the less after using this sharpener for some time the knife will be at 15 de. Have fun **Q: can I sharpen scissors with it?** A: Don't even try it unless you want to ruin your scissors! Scissors are considered shears with the sharpened bevel on opposite sides of each blade. Use this sharpener and your scissors may never cut again. In the past, I did jobs using a precision scissors sharpening machine for a commercial drapery company. **Q: Is this work better than conventional Sharpening Steel?** A: Sharpening steel doesn't remove material from the knife, therefore if a knife is dull, steel will not be able to make it sharp again. The main purpose of the steel is to "shape" the edge of the knife by deforming material along the knife edge to smooth it out. I found this KitchenIQ 50009 is the easiest and cheapest solution to sharpen the knife. However, this tool is designed for the right-handed people in mind. If you are left handed, it'd be a little awkward to use. You need to place this tool on a stable surface and hold it with your left hand. Place the knife in the coarse slot, nearest to the handle, apply little pressure down and pull the knife toward you. (Too much pressure can gouge you knife due to uneven material removal.) Lift the knife up and repeat as many times as you want until you can cut a piece of paper with ease. You should see some metal shaving in this step. Once the knife is sharp, you can use the other slot or steel to hone the knife edge to smooth it out. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great, fool proof sharpener! *by I***! on October 3, 2015* There are about a million (slight exaggerating) knife sharpening tools out there including sticks and stones.

Cooking from scratch means I spend a great deal of my time chopping and slicing food. Add to that the extensive food preservation I do each year when I harvest my garden, a good set of sharp knives is a necessity. I bought some really good knives several years ago and they truly are a Godsend! However, good knives are a blend of carbon and steel. The steel adds strength while the carbon allows for a sharp edge. The more carbon in a knife, the sharper then edge can be but the more often it needs to be sharpened. I sharpen my knives fairly regularly and have tried many different kinds of sharpeners. I prefer sharpeners like the mikitokobayashi KitchenIQ 50009 Edge Grip 2 Stage Knife Sharpener. WHAT IS IN THE BOX: One small oval shaped knife sharpener with both a course and fine sharpener indention. The sharpener is mostly constructed of plastic. The course sharpener appears to utilize metal pieces while the fine sharpener appears to be stone of some sort. WHAT I LIKE: Just a couple of passes through both parts of the sharpener puts a great edge on my knives. Sharp knives are safer than dull once because they make clean cuts and don’t tell to roll off food and onto fingers. The sharpener positions the knife perfectly for sharpening. I don’t have to develop any skill set to use this sharpener. The sharpener is small enough to tuck into a kitchen drawer. My house is small and I have no room for excessive large appliances. The flat bottom sits securely on the counter while I hold it in place so I can sharpen my knives safely. This knife sharpener is one of the more affordable options I have seen. WHAT I DON’T LIKE: The fine sharpening “stones” wear out quickly and then the whole sharpener must be replaced. I have to replace it every couple of years. PICTURES: I am including a picture of the sharpener in my hand as a size reference. I believe this is a nice sharpener for the money and would recommend it. ## Frequently Bought Together - KitchenIQ 50009 Edge Grip 2-Stage Knife Sharpener, Black, Coarse & Fine Sharpeners, Compact for Easy Storage, Stable Non-Slip Base, Soft Grip Rubber Handle, Straight & Serrated Knives - Refrigerator Deodorizer,Lasts for 10 Years,Refrigerator Odor Eliminator,Fridge Deodorizer,More Effective Than Baking Soda Bamboo Air Purifying Bags --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fi/products/300762-kitcheniq-edge-grip-sharpener](https://www.desertcart.fi/products/300762-kitcheniq-edge-grip-sharpener) --- *Product available on Desertcart Finland* *Store origin: FI* *Last updated: 2026-08-21*
