What Customers Ask About This Product
Can I use it on serrated knives?
No, serrated edge blades should not be sharpened with this product.
How often should I replace the wheel?
After 12 to 24 months, depending on frequency of use, to maintain your knife's cutting edge to a high standard.
Is it dishwasher safe?
The ceramic wheel can be removed and washed in the dishwasher to prevent a build-up of sharpener dust, but the body should be wiped clean by hand.
In our experience...
An angled guide is what takes the guesswork out of sharpening at home. It holds the blade at the correct 15 degree angle automatically, rather than relying on a steady, practised hand.
Replacing the wheel periodically is a genuine maintenance step. A worn wheel won't sharpen as effectively, so swapping it every 12 to 24 months keeps performance consistent.
Being usable both wet and dry adds real flexibility. Water sharpening gives the best results, but dry sharpening is available for a genuinely quick touch-up.
Specifications
Care & Use Instructions
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.
