Never a dull moment! This 'easy-to-use' knife sharpener's down to $19 for a few hours

If you ask any chef what their can't-live-without kitchen tool is, chances are they'll say it's a good knife. And if you're an avid home cook, well, you know how much dicing and slicing is involved with meal prep. In the event that your blades start feeling a little dull — aka, instead of slicing through a tomato, they squish it — don't fret about having to splurge on a new set. You can revive your existing arsenal with the Amazon fan-favorite Orange Ninja 4-Stage Knife Sharpener. A few swipes will have your blades working like new, and at $19 (down from $29), the price is also a cut above. That said, this limited-time deal is going quickly, so chop-chop.

Why is it a good deal? 💰

High-quality, chef-approved knife sharpeners don't come cheap, so finding one for just $19 is a total steal. Plus, you'd spend much more to have your knives professionally honed, and this price is within a dollar of its all-time low. As mentioned, this is a lightning deal, meaning it'll disappear once it's 100% claimed — add it to your cart, stat!

Why do I need this? 🤔

Equipped with an ergonomic rubber handle designed for both righties and lefties, the Orange Ninja 4-Stage Knife Sharpener couldn't be simpler to use. There are four settings to choose from by sliding the little orange knob: Coarse for straightening and repairing, Medium for sharpening, Fine for polishing and Serrated for restoring those hard-to-care-for jagged knives. All you do is place the blade of your knife in the slot and slide it through a few times — that's it! You'll just want to make sure you're always pulling your knife through in the same direction, rather than going back and forth — other than that, it's foolproof.

Sharpening credit goes to the tungsten steel, diamond and ceramic rods, which gently yet effectively restore your blades to their formerly sharp selves. Not only does having sharp knives make chopping more effortless, it also makes it safer, since you won't have to exert as much force as you slice. You can use the Orange Ninja on practically any knife you own, and since it's just eight inches long, it'll hardly take up any precious space in your kitchen.

What reviewers say 💬

Still on the fence? Here's what some of the Orange Ninja 4-Stage Knife Sharpener's 3,100 (and counting) fans think.

Pros 👍

"Honestly, I didn't have high hopes that this would sharpen my knives to my liking," admitted a former skeptic. "We take our knives to get them sharpened, and it was getting very expensive — so why not? ... Well, imagine my surprise when, after following the easy instructions provided, my knives are like new again, only sharper."

"It is so easy to use," echoed a satisfied shopper. "No more cutting tomatoes with a dull knife. And being able to condition a serrated blade is great."

"Professional quality," wrote a seasoned food prepper. "[I] use this in my restaurant and it has held up with daily use." "I have purchased so many knife sharpeners," said another. "I own a bar and have been the manager of two kitchens. Outside of getting behind a whetstone, this is the best thing I have ever used."

Cons 👎

"[I] wish it had suction cups to hold it down," shared a mostly pleased purchaser, "but it sharpened my pocket knife nicely."

"The only issue I feel is that when you're pulling the knife through, you have to be careful not to slice the knife through the plastic part of the device just past the sharpener," noted a final buyer. "After only a few accidental swipes, it's already cutting through the plastic there. Besides that, would highly recommend this for fast, easy knife sharpening!"

Wait, what's that? You don't own a knife set? You won't do much better than this top-tier collection.
