Gorilla Grip vs. Cubikook CS-T01 Manual Knife Sharpener Side-by-Side Comparison
Overall Verdict
You can trust either the Gorilla Grip or Cubikook CS-T01 to rejuvenate your knife’s edge quickly and effectively, but if you also care about the longevity of your knives, the latter is the better choice.
These devices took exactly the same amount of time in our speed test and brought the knives to the same level of sharpness. However, the Gorilla Grip shaved off a lot more material from the test knife. The edge it produced also had more deformities than that created by the Cubikook.
Both sharpeners are decently built, but the Gorilla Grip suffers from a bumpy base that affects its balance. The Cubikook is not without flaws, but its flaky label and a rotating ceramic rod didn’t seem to have any negative effects on its sharpening performance.
