Care
- Water sharpening (best): Remove the clear guide, fill the recess under the ceramic wheel with water, and replace the guide. Hold the sharpener firmly on a flat surface, align the blade within the guide, and slide it back and forth through the ceramic wheel 10 to 20 times from heel to tip with light pressure. Rinse and dry the knife thoroughly. Sharpen roughly twice a month to maintain the edge.
- Dry sharpening (quick): Follow the same steps as water sharpening, without adding water to the recess.
- Cleaning the sharpener: Lift the clear guard off periodically and wipe inside with a damp microfibre cloth, then dry thoroughly before replacing. The ceramic wheel can be removed and washed in the dishwasher to prevent sharpener dust building up.
