Overall Verdict
Without the brand names printed on the products, we wouldn’t be able to tell the Amesser A-65 and the Kitchellence 3-stage sharpener apart. In fact, they received equal ratings for design and ease of use. The Kitchellence, however, stood out when it came to actual performance.
Both sharpeners are made with quality materials and boast a robust build with a weighted, though tapered, base and ergonomic grip. They have identical slots in their working sections, with substantial sharpening rods.
It’s not surprising that the two took roughly the same amount of time to sharpen a knife and achieved the same level of keenness in our maximum sharpness test. The Amesser seemed more aggressive to the knife’s edge, though: It removed a lot more material and also left a much rougher edge compared to the Kitchellence, hence the lower performance rating.
It might have been a matter of individual products but as far as our testing went, the Kitchellence proved to be the better of the two.
