Can you make money with a $50 sharpener? You’d be surprised. For a side hustle—think sharpening knives for neighbors or at a local farmer’s market—the Narcissus Electric Knife Sharpener2-Stage is a high-ROI (Return on Investment) starter tool. The 6000 RPM motor allows for a high volume of work. If you’re charging $5 a blade, this machine pays for itself in the first hour. It’s consistent enough that you can offer a “Standard Kitchen Sharpening” service with total confidence in the results.

The “Fine” stage, which uses white fused alumina, is the secret weapon here. It doesn’t just sharpen; it polishes. When you hand a knife back to a client, they want to see that mirror-like finish on the edge. The Narcissus Electric Knife Sharpener delivers that “like-new” sheen that makes people feel they got their money’s worth. Plus, the ease of use means you can train a helper in five minutes, allowing you to scale up if you’re doing a big batch for a local cafe or catering business.
I like this for a side hustle because it’s low-risk and high-output. You aren’t laboring over a stone for 15 minutes per knife. You can process a 6-piece block set in under five minutes. For a professional, time is money. This machine is the shortcut that doesn’t feel like a shortcut in the final result. The metal dust collection box also means you can work in a client’s home or a clean environment without leaving a trail of steel glitter behind you.
Just a word of caution for the pros: know your limits. This isn’t for high-end Japanese “blue steel” or Damascus masterpieces. If you’re building a business, use this for the 95% of people who have standard stainless steel knives. It’s a workhorse, not a surgical instrument. Treat it like that, and it will be the most profitable tool in your bag.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: High-speed throughput for multiple knives; professional-looking polished finish; magnetic dust box for clean professional work.
- Cons: Fixed 20-degree angle limits versatility for high-end clients; wheels will eventually need replacement under heavy commercial use; no adjustable grit.
