Designed to maintain all plain edge kitchen knives. This sharpener features an advanced ceramic wheel, and a solid plastic handle with weighted non-slip base to give you the quickest and easiest way to sharpen your kitchen knives. Use regularly to hone the blade edge back into shape. The clear plastic guard will protect the replaceable ceramic wheel, which is positioned at the optimum sharpening angle for the Japanese-style 15° blade edge of the Signature range of kitchen knives.

Whilst specifically designed for use with the Signature range of kitchen knives, this hand-held knife sharpener can also be used to maintain and sharpen other plain edge kitchen knives. Please note that serrated edge blades should not be sharpened with this product.

Using our Hand-Held Knife Sharpener

Water Sharpening (best)

1. Remove the clear guide, fill the recess under the ceramic wheel with water and replace guide.

2. Hold sharpener firmly on a flat surface.

3. Align your blade within the guide, slide the blade back and forth through the ceramic wheel 10 - 20
times from heel to tip (applying light pressure) until
desired sharpness has been achieved.

4. Rinse and dry your knife thoroughly.

5. Sharpen twice a month (or to suit) to maintain the desired edge sharpness.

Dry Sharpening (quick) -Follow steps 2 - 5, as above.

We recommend that after 12-24 months, depending on frequency of use, you change the ceramic sharpening wheel in order to maintain your knife’s cutting edge to a high standard.

Replacement wheels are available as a set of two.

Claire W. ★★★★★

The ceramic wheel glides through the blade smoothly, and the weighted base stays put even when I’m pressing down hard on a stubborn edge. My chef’s knife went from dull to slicing tomatoes paper-thin in under a minute.

James ★★★★★

I've never had such consistently sharp knives this quickly—the ceramic wheel makes a smooth pass with almost no effort. The handle feels solid and the base stays put on the counter during use.

William V. ★★★★★

The weighted base really keeps it steady on the counter while I drag my chef's knife through, and that ceramic wheel brought a dull edge back in about three quick passes. It's honestly the easiest sharpening routine I've had, no fuss or mess.
