Overall Verdict
The Gorilla Grip and the Kitchellence bear great resemblances to each other but the latter did slightly better in our performance and ease of use tests.
You can’t really tell the difference between the two simply by looking, or even when holding them in your hand. They have technically the same body, the same soft, matte finish, and their working sections look identical. However, the Gorilla Grip’s uneven and ill-fitted base pad put it at a disadvantage when it came to build quality and balance.
Although having similar slots and layout, the Gorilla Grip outsped the Kitchellence by 30 seconds in our Sharpening Time test. It also got the test knife further up the sharpness scale. Unfortunately, this was achieved at the expense of the knife edge: The Gorilla Grip took away thick pieces of swarf and left a wavy edge. The Kitchellence, on the other hand, only removed what was necessary.
All things considered, the Kitchellence is the more well-rounded one.
