Work Sharp Benchstone Knife Sharpener vs SHARPAL 191H Knife & Scissors Sharpener

Buy the Work Sharp Benchstone if you want a sharpener that will last and can put a genuinely keen edge on pocket, outdoor and kitchen knives. It uses diamond plates and a ceramic stone with locked 20° or 25° guides, and owners rate it highly for being simple and fast. The SHARPAL 191H is a small pull-through sharpener that sets a fixed angle with carbide and ceramic slots and holds to the counter with a suction base. It is quicker for a dull kitchen knife or scissors, but it removes more steel and cannot match the Benchstone's edge quality or long-term durability.

• Choose the Work Sharp Benchstone if you want a guided diamond-and-ceramic sharpener that gives a lasting, keen edge on pocket, outdoor and kitchen knives.
• Choose the SHARPAL 191H if you want a compact pull-through sharpener for quick touch-ups on kitchen knives and scissors, with a suction base for one-handed use.
