Description

Sharpen your Global knives with this two stage sharpener. It has a black and grey design and sharpening wheels made from whetstone to give your dull knives a sharp edge. There is a white wheel with a coarse grit that sharpens dull blades and a pink medium grit wheel for sharpening and polishing. A clear cover lets you see into the sharpener and protects you from the sharpening wheel while giving you sharp 18 degree edges. This intuitive hand-held sharpener is safe with non slip feet for your protection and is compact for easy storage. 8" L x 1-3/4" W x 2-3/4" H This device employs two ceramic wheels--one coarse, the other fine--to return a dull knife to working order. Using the sharpener is simple and easy. Fill the wheels' compartment with water so your blade is continuously washed while it's being sharpened. Then draw a knife seven or eight times through the coarse (white) wheel. Then draw your blade seven or eight times through the fine (pink) wheel to bring it back to life. The sharpener's plastic handle is shaped so it can be gripped firmly and safely and has a soft, rubber-like insert for comfort. --Fred Brack Recommended for sharpening Global knives but not necessarily those from other manufacturers, this device employs two ceramic wheels--one coarse, the other fine--to return a dull knife to working order.

Frequently asked questions

The Ceramic Wheel Water Sharpener utilizes a water reservoir to keep the ceramic sharpening wheels wet during the sharpening process. As you gently pull the knife blade through the wheels, the wet ceramic sharpens the blade. The water acts as a lubricant, reducing heat and preventing any metal from being removed too quickly, which helps maintain the knife’s integrity and sharpness.

The Ceramic Wheel Water Sharpener is designed for use with straight-edge blades, such as kitchen knives. It is not suitable for serrated blades or scissors. Always check the manufacturer's recommendations to ensure compatibility with your specific knives.

The frequency of use depends on how often you use your knives and what you're cutting. For household kitchen knives used daily, sharpening every 1-2 months is a good rule of thumb. However, for less frequently used knives, sharpening every 3-6 months should suffice. Pay attention to the performance of your knives, and sharpen them when you notice a decline in cutting efficiency.

Yes, cleaning the Ceramic Wheel Water Sharpener is straightforward. Empty the water reservoir and rinse it under running water. The ceramic wheels can also be rinsed gently. Avoid using detergents or harsh cleaners to ensure the longevity of the ceramic wheels. Allow the sharpener and the wheels to dry completely before reassembling and storing.

  • Indispensable for my Kitchen
Most every chef will tell you that the most important tool in the kitchen is a good knife. However, no knife stays "good" very long without proper sharpening. Most real chefs swear by their whetstone that they sharpen at their estimated angle. This is great for them, and maybe it is the best way to preserve the blade of the knife, but I've been using this sharpener for years on my Global and Wusthof knives and it is: 1) Fast (meaning I don't avoid the chore at all) 2) Razor sharp (best way to tell this is slicing tomatoes) 3) Small, easily fitting in my kitchen drawer 4) Not expensive Perhaps it does shorten the length of life of my knives, but replacing the most important tool in your kitchen every 10-20 years for less than the cost of a microwave is hardly that much to ask when you consider the convenience and effectiveness of this tool. ... show more

  • Easy knife sharpening solution that works great

  • Works surprisingly well
I have had this product for 2 years and it works very well for me - surprisingly, in that I've never before had great luck with DIY "sharpeners". It brings back the sharpness of my large Global chef's knife very well. Also, it works on some of my other knives (such as a low-cost Oxo that has a thin blade) - even though these other knives do not have the same angle as the Global. On my more traditional knives with thicker blades (and which I had had professionally reground), the results are only OK, but still helpful. (Besides actual food cutting, I judge my results using the "paper test".) All this said, I do run the blades through the rollers maybe 3X the number of times recommended in the instructions in order to get the best results. Of course, if I used this thing more often, maybe the recommended number would be enough. ... show more

  • Perfect for Global Knives
I essentially use one knife in my kitchen, a Global Nakiri, and this is how I keep it sharp. Easy to use and works great.

  • Works just like it said
I got this a couple of days ago because my chef's knife was starting to squash tomatoes rather than cut through them. Sharpening both the chef's and a vegetable knife, following the directions, I was pleasantly surprised when they each sliced through the paper towels I was using to dry them off. I finished the sharpening with a steel and am very happy with the results. I haven't done anything to the blades but use the steel after each use since I bought the knives, and am jazzed that this little guy brought my blades back to life. I know there was some negative reviews of the blades, but keeping the blades perpendicular, and not pushing down to hard, I got a good edge. I think if you push down too hard, you put the blade edge flat on the wheel, and grind off the edge, which would make the knife duller. Keep it perpendicular so it puts wheels faces against the blades faces and it will give you what you are looking for. But of course, a professional sharpening from someone who has been doing this type of thing for years would produce an amazing edge - probably for about the same cost as this little baby. ... show more

  • Best sharpener I ever owned
Works great and really recommend it. It is important not to press down hard as you gently run the knife over the wheels and you might need to sharpen a few knives until you get it "just right" at the tip of the blade. I have a few knives where the blade runs all the way up to the handle so there is a very small section of the blade that doesn't "make it" to the little wheels inside the sharpener (because of the plastic dome/cover). I don't own professional knives at the moment so it's bad knife design and has nothing to do with the sharpener's performance. One thing I realized is that it might be difficult (not to mention expensive!) to replace the sharpening wheels (which are sold separately), so that's another reason to be very careful with the amount of pressure you apply. ... show more

  • Would you look at that?!!
Got a 4 piece Global set as a house warming gift. 4 years later and I have not sharpened them, 7-9 swipes through this sharpener with each knife and BOOM! As sharp as the day I took them out the box!
