For every job

Find your sharpener

The process

Razor-sharp in three steps.

  1. 01

    Set it up

    Stand it on the worktop and hold it with one hand. There is no more preparation than that.

    Set it up
  2. 02

    Pull it through

    Pull the blade through the slot three to five times with light pressure. The device holds the angle, not you.

    Pull it through
  3. 03

    Cutting

    Do the paper test and get back to cooking. Serrated bread knives come out sharp too.

    Cutting

You need neither whetstones nor practice. The device sets the right angle for you.
