Product Information

The best part here is probably the model's universal sharpening angle. It is able to carefully sharpen the knife without damaging the blade. Just make sure you're following the "carefully" suggestion without applying too much pressure. The model will let you work with kitchen and sporting knives as long as they are made from alloy, stainless steel, and/or carbon. As a nice little bonus, this sharpener is also very much suitable for flat-bladed screwdrivers. COMPACT STORAGE: Whether storing the knife sharpener in your cupboards until the next sharpening session or keeping your new kitchen gadget on display, cord storage and non-slip feet make storage safe and simple.

Pull-Through – Not to be used on brittle knives as they can make them prone to chipping, these are the best for solidly-built knives For a simple tool, the model is surprisingly versatile. Naturally, it works perfectly fine with straight-edged steel kitchen knives. But it is just as good at keeping those wide serrated knives (also known as bread knives) sharpened and honed, including those knives that feature hardened steel blades. The second stage involves the polishing and refinement carried out by ceramic whetstones or Arkansas stones (the pieces of microcrystalline quartz quarried from open pits in Arkansas State). Once this stage is completed, the blade of your knife becomes smooth and shrill. FROM THE KITCHEN TO THE TOOLSHED: Unlike many others, your multiuse knife sharpener features a handy scissor sharpening groove and screwdriver sharpening port for use all around the home. Now, you might be wondering, "Dale, why should I invest in an electric knife sharpener when there are so many other options out there?" Well, my friend, let me enlighten you with some compelling reasons:Win: The Chef's Choice sharpener is designed to be user-friendly, with a two-stage sharpening system that is simple to understand and execute.

They're easier for a beginner to use correctly compared to an electric knife sharpener.

We choose the most popular manual and electric knife sharpeners available at UK retailers to test. We buy all the products we test and rate them on the two factors below. Sharpening ability Meanwhile, other knife users may prefer a whetstone. These are a little more natural in design and functionality than the above, as you simply sharpen your knives on a rugged piece of stone. This doesn’t cut new edges into the knife but hones your existing blade. The sharpening angle determines the quality of sharpening. It is advised to keep the sharpening angle preset by a manufacturer. Furthermore, be mindful of the material and purpose of your knife so as to extend its life. The sharpening angle of 15°-22° is believed to be suitable for kitchen knives, while 22°-30° angle is perfect for grinding hunting and multi-purpose knives. You can also find some knife sharpeners with an adjustable sharpening angle which is a useful feature. Just imagine, you can change the angle of sharpening anytime! But keep in mind that the less it is, the sharper and more fragile the blade will be. The big sharpening angle is typical for heavy-duty knives made of high-strength steel (for example, meat cleavers or bone choppers). Sharpening Stages Safety Features: Prioritize models with safety features like non-slip bases, blade guides, and automatic shut-off mechanisms. These safeguards enhance your overall sharpening experience and minimize the risk of accidents.Win: The product is designed for ease of use, with simple operations and clear instructions. Even beginners can comfortably use this sharpener. Waterstones – The recommended options for Japanese- and Western-style blades (or any knife with very brittle blades), with which pull-through models aren’t suitable. But they can generally work with all types of knife Shinkansen – Like a mix between the two above. They look like a pull-through but use water. You get two ceramic wheels which are placed at the right angle for sharpening finer knives, taking the guesswork out of using a waterstone. You have to fill a small reservoir with water which stops it overheating, but it doesn’t give quite as good results as a whetstone. They’re made especially for Japanese blades, as they are quite narrow
