You may have a favorite knife, but have you ever taken the time to sharpen it?

No? Well, that's understandable. But if nearly 72,000 (!) hyper-enthusiastic Amazon reviewers have anything to do with it, you'll be sharpening soon enough...and you'll be doing it with one simple, crazy cheap kitchen tool.

The happy customers have banded together to voice their loud support for one nifty sharpening gadget that they claim is unlike any other: the KitchenIQ Edge Grip 2-Stage Knife Sharpener. It also happens to be just $10. (Yes, you read that right.) And it's relatively safe too: A non-slip base and patented "edge grip" prevents your knife from toppling out of the gadget.

"Of every gift I've ever given [my husband], this is the only thing I've heard still get praise nearly two years later," reads one glowing review.

Another claims, "I could hardly believe how effectively it had sharpened the knife, which I had been ready to throw away a week before."

"Unbelievable," adds yet another. "How have I lived without this?"

We get it: The product works well. But how well, exactly?

"I now keep bandages in the kitchen drawer," one (hopefully unmarred) reviewer admits.

Still, magical as the KitchenIQ Sharpener sounds, you might still be skeptical. If you've never even thought about sharpening your knives before, why start now?

That's where a little math comes in handy. Even the most basic new set of knives costs at least $50, while higher-end brands can run into the hundreds for just one chef's knife alone. Part with just $10, and you'll never have to invest in a new set of knives again (unless, you know, you get so carried away with your newfound sharpening habit that your previous set is nonexistent).

That, friends, is a bonkers return on investment.
