It is time for a couple new appliances my ancient (1970) GE that does double duty just needs to be replaced.


For the can opener I would prefer an under the top cabinets mount manual or electric but one that solidly grips cans and always cuts out the top.


Oh I love my carbon steel kitchen knives but they do need sharpening a lot more often than stainless steel. I have a good sharpening steel but I need a new edge sharpener electric or manual.

Can openers are really open to just finding one that fits what you are looking for.


As for Knife Sharpeners, the better electric ones are "Chef's Choice" line. That is what my parents have used for years.

Basically: Grinding edge to get rid of all burrs, dings, etc. Sharpening edge. Honing edge. Anything that does all 3 is what you really want. If knives just need a good sharpening and are not too dinged up, just use the sharpening and/or honing sections.

That is kind of what I figured on the can openers. I don't use it much but it has started to fail to cut lids out.
