What Customers Ask About This Product
Is it dishwasher safe?
No, handwash only and dry immediately.
How do I use it?
Fill the container with water, then run your knife back and forth through the slots, applying moderate pressure.
Will it fit all knives?
The slots are quite slim, so it's mainly suited to Japanese knives rather than thicker Western blades.
In our experience...
Using water rather than dry sharpening is a deliberate choice. It helps keep the ceramic wheels cool and reduces friction, giving a cleaner result than dry sharpening.
Slim slots are a genuine limitation worth knowing before buying. This sharpener suits the thinner blades typical of Japanese knives, and may not accommodate thicker Western-style blades comfortably.
