Kitchellence 3-Stage vs. Zwilling 4-Stage Sharpener Side-by-Side Comparison
Overall Verdict
The Kitchellence 3-stage sharpener wins hands down in the most critical areas. Whether it’s sharpness, time efficiency, or stability that you’re looking for in a handheld sharpener, it presented itself as the better choice compared to the Zwilling sharpener. The fact that it’s only a fraction of the latter’s price just makes it even more attractive.
The Zwilling’s main appeal is in its ability to sharpen to two different grind angles; however, it took way too long and couldn’t reach the level of sharpness the Kitchellence could. It sports a strong, robust body and an impressive look, but its design was rather gimmicky and didn’t serve well in practice.
