The AccuSharp knife sharpener [$9.94] is a relatively low-tech way to sharpen all sorts of things. A tenth of the cost of many competitors, it does a much better job than you would expect from a product sold on TV.
The AccuSharp is designed to last five to ten years between blade changes and is made of diamond honed tungsten carbide. Whether you need to sharpen an axe dull from killing zombies or bring new life to Grandma’s meat cleaver, this will do it and do it well.
