I think your mom was treated unfairly for that. electric knives cannot be sharpened in the typical manner and it’s fair to assume you need a special machine for it.
also, who tf buys an electric sharpener for a regular knife. that’s dumb
there must be (I mean, there obviously are, I don’t know everything) electric sharpener types that I am not aware of. The only electric knife sharpeners that I know of are basically the same as a common manual pull through version, at least as far as the user is concerned
I am 100% in the camp of “weird products exist, as they should, for people for whom the regular version isn’t usable due to disabilities or similar reasons” - I’m just not aware of a product in this case.
Poorly made blades that need an initial edge ground into them are good candidates, after that it’s 100% manual though to get a real edge. It save a a good bit of time

Someone who can’t sharpen a knife manually for medical reasons.
It’s all in good spirit and she’s no slouch teasing any of us over dumb shit

The electric sharpner likely require less force to use and they look operable with a single hand unlike the normal one
