Overview
Presto's electric sharpener runs most non serrated kitchen and sport knives through a 2 stage system, precision grinding then honing, using Sapphirite wheels and fixed angle guides.
The fixed angle guides are the part that matters most for anyone who has struggled to freehand a consistent edge with a stone: they hold the blade at a set angle so stage one grinds and stage two hones and polishes without guesswork. It runs on standard 120 volt household power, built to North American electrical standards, and is made in the USA.

Who it's for
Anyone maintaining straight edge kitchen or sporting knives who wants a fixed angle, plug in sharpener instead of a stone or freehand pull through. Not for serrated bread or steak knives, which this is not built to sharpen.
Pros and cons
- Fixed angle guides keep results consistent
- 2 stage grind then hone process
- Works on kitchen and sport knives
- Made in the USA
- Not built for serrated blades

Performance notes
Stage one does the actual metal removal, grinding a precisely angled edge with Sapphirite wheels rated the same hardness used in professional sharpening shops. Stage two then hones and polishes that edge rather than removing more material. The precision blade guides are what keep the angle consistent pass to pass, which is the main advantage over sharpening freehand.
