Giada De Laurentiis has us craving more than just Italian food with one of her latest pasta creations.

In a recent video on X, the celebrity chef prepped fresh ingredients for one of her “favorite” pastas — a mouthwatering orecchiette with turkey sausage and broccoli rabe. As she began chopping garlic, she paused to break out a knife sharpener and revitalized the blade in only two swipes. In no time, her knife was sharper, and we were left wanting a sharpener of our very own. Luckily, her handy kitchen tool looks almost identical to an $11 version we uncovered on Amazon.

The AccuSharp Knife Sharpener works with a variety of knives, including chef’s knives, paring knives, serrated knives, and cleavers. The blades are crafted from durable tungsten carbide, and the sharpener comes with an ergonomic handle that fits in either hand, so both right- and left-handed cooks can easily use it. It also has a full-length guard that protects your fingers.

You can even reverse the blades, effectively doubling the sharpener’s life span. Plus, it’s dishwasher-safe. Choose from five colors, such as orange, white, and dark green. Take a cue from De Laurentiis and hold the sharpener firmly in one hand, then swipe your knife in a downward motion across it. Or, follow the brands’ instructions by laying the knife blade-side up on a flat surface and gliding the sharpener over the top.

Many shoppers have given the kitchen tool their seal of approval — in fact, it’s racked up more than 18,800 perfect ratings. “This little gadget is awesome,” one reviewer wrote. “[It] brought my kitchen knives back to life. Just a few strokes was enough to resharpen the blade.”

“At our restaurant, we sharpen 10 to 15 knives every day. This is all we use,” a second shopper said. “I used to have a knife sharpening service, and I’ve tried some of the other ‘trendy’ sharpeners sold here on Amazon, but this little device beats them all and saves us a ton of money.”
