What do the four stages do?

Three stages handle knives: coarse for dull edges, honing to realign, and polishing to finish. The fourth slot is for scissors.

Is it better than an electric sharpener?

It is quieter and needs no power, and the stages give more control than a pull-through electric. Electric models are faster but remove metal aggressively too.

Can it sharpen serrated or ceramic knives?

It is built for standard straight-edge kitchen knives and scissors. Serrated edges and ceramic blades are better left to tools made for them.

What comes in the box?

The sharpener, a pair of cut-resistant gloves, a cleaning brush and a dustproof cover.

How often should I use the coarse stage?

Only when an edge is genuinely dull. For routine upkeep, the honing and polishing slots keep the blade sharp with far less metal removed.

Does it need to be held while sharpening?

The anti-slip base holds it on the counter, but resting one hand on the unit keeps it steadier during firm strokes.

Our take on the Tinana 4-Stage Knife Sharpener with Cut-Resistant Gloves

The Tinana is a manual countertop sharpener with three knife stages (coarse, honing, polishing) plus a separate scissors slot. It adds cut-resistant gloves, a cleaning brush and a dustproof cover, which most budget sharpeners leave out. It suits home cooks who want to revive dull kitchen knives and scissors without learning whetstone technique. Against electric sharpeners it is quieter and cheaper to own, but it removes metal faster than a stone and gives less control than a guided rod system.
