I have seen and even used a professional service that "saves time" and they use electric grinding machines. In my younger years I sent a brand new knife in for sharpening and it came back with a reverse curve in it rendering it unusable until I personally ground the heel down to restore the curvature so it would cut along the whole length of the blade. For home use, I would recommend an electric sharpener, which if used correctly, would keep knives sharp. The knives that usually need sharpening are the kind that have an over abundance of stainless steel in them and they tend not to hold an edge for very long, and they are difficult to sharpen as well, because the steel is so hard (62+ on the rockwell scale). An electric sharpener would work great for this type of inexpensive knife, I would never use it with a good Shun or Henckels, it is not that hard to learn how to use a stone.Michael Brownps.
