SunrisePro Supreme Manual vs Kitchellence 3-Stage Manual Side-by-Side Comparison
The SunrisePro admittedly delivers a sharper edge, but our pick is the Kitchellence where more than sharpness is concerned.
SunrisePro Supreme
Tested Using Methodology v1.1Kitchellence 3-Stage
Tested Using Methodology v1.1Overall Verdict
The SunrisePro Supreme sharpener certainly gets the primary job done, but if you want sharpness with a smooth edge and consistent performance too, go with the Kitchellence.
The SunrisePro, despite having only one sharpening slot, does the job faster and more effectively than most devices we’ve tested. It also features a strong, sturdy build, and while we find the small size awkward, some may appreciate its compactness. Its problem is with the small edge it creates, which is sharp but blunts quickly. Also, its suction base, while strong on some surfaces, is useless on others.
The Kitchellence takes longer to sharpen your knives, and the sharpness level is also lower than what the SunrisePro can offer. But it’s still among the better performers in that respect. It’s also much more gentle to the edge than the SunrisePro. As a plus, it’s stable, natural to use, and comes in a size that we find more appropriate for kitchen knives.
