Kitchellence 3-Stage vs Longzon 4-stage Side-by-Side Comparison
The Kitchellence vs the Longzon manual sharpener. We tested them for speed, keenness, and stability. Here we compare them.
Kitchellence 3-Stage
Tested Using Methodology v1.1Longzon 4-stage
Tested Using Methodology v1.1
Overall Verdict
Out of the two, we would choose the Kitchellence because it’s faster and more effective. However, the Longzon does have its advantages.
The Longzon removed only a minimal amount of material from the knife’s edge, and it produced a much smoother edge than the Kitchellence could. That edge was arguably the nicest we’ve seen, and we’ve tested more than a dozen manual sharpeners!
Unfortunately, the Longzon took too much time to get there, and that is a big faux pas for convenient sharpeners.
The Kitchellence wasn’t the fastest we’ve tested, either, but it certainly outspeeded the Longzon. It brought the knife further on the sharpness scale too and also did well in terms of material retention. As such, it’s the more well-rounded choice here.
