For your home use there are many multi-stage sharpeners that will take your dullest knifes and sharpen them to a professional edge. Kitchen diamond knife sharpeners are typically a 3 stage sharpener that uses the stages to get rid of any nicks in your knife and then goes on to sharpen them. These kitchen diamond knife sharpeners can sharpen not only smooth blades, but also serrated blades as well.

A 3-stage diamond knife sharpener typically features the first two stages as the actual sharpening stages, where the 3d stage is the stropping or polishing stage that will give your knife a professional edge. Some things you will want to look for in a kitchen diamond knife sharpener are:

• Detailed instructions including pictures
• 100% diamond abrasion to ensure knife integrity
• Spring system to hold knifes at correct angle

They also tend to be smaller and with the manual models, can fit in a kitchen drawer. These range in price from $40-$150

You can find diamond knife sharpeners that are a simple 1-stage device that simply sharpen your knife, but will not take out any nicks in the blade that a 3-stage diamond knife sharpener would. Some of these sharpeners are sharpening steels while others are hold-on-the-counter models.

The counter held models will position your knife for you and take away any guess work. These diamond knife sharpeners range in price from $20-$100.
