Despite its lower price tag, the Gorilla Grip’s fast speed and effectiveness garnered it a better rating than the Zwilling’s.
The Gorilla Grip is not without flaws: A tapered and bumpy base is never a good sign in the world of manual pull-through sharpeners. However, in our tests, its substantial weight allowed enough stability and balance to work with. It was rather rough on the knife’s edge but it got the job done quickly enough.
The Zwilling has an impressive build and offers two grind angle options but it took twice as long as the Gorilla Grip in our speed test. It shaved off less material but that wasn’t much consolation given its less effective sharpening.
