2 step knife sharpener

You don’t have to invest in a $60 Spyderco Sharpmaker Kit for your cheap kitchen or utility knives. The Smith’s 2 Step Knife Sharpener is lightweight, portable and very easy to use. It comes with two sharpeners — tungsten carbide on one side and fine ceramic rods on the other.

Get the WideMouth version, so that it’s easy to fill up (including with ice) and easy to hand wash.
