About this deal

If you are not inclined to use a sharpening steel or whetstone - the minosharp knife sharpener will produce excellent results with very little effort. There are 3 different kits, one containing a rough (240 grit) stone, one containing a medium (1000 grit) stone, and one containing a super fine (6000 grit) stone. Each kit contains a stone, a set of guide rails and a plastic holder which doubles as a storage box and a base to elevate the stone above a counter during sharpening. The storage box is ventilated so that the whetstone will dry if it is put into the box while still wet. We like the size and shape of this sharpener. It is small enough to pop in a drawer but big enough to get a proper hold of it as you sharpen. It also has a non-slip base, so it won’t slide around, leaving you free to get the perfect sharpening angle. A Flexible, All-Round Sharpener – One of the pros I had for the previously reviewed 3-stage Minosharp, was how incredibly versatile it was for a pull through system. The Minosharp Plus retains the same advantage. I’ve reviewed a ton of pull through style sharpeners, and ALL of them fall short to this regard. They all have a single stage, (and therefore a single abrasive/grit) which makes them inept or unable to provide a solution for every sharpening need. For a moment, I want you to consider traditional stones just for the sake of argument at hand. Granted you may be unfamiliar with traditional stones, and even care less to know about them, but the point I wish to make is directly related, so stay with me here! Have you ever seen a chef or professional sharpener use a single stone (with one grit by the way) to achieve that blazing sharp edge? I’ll bet the answer is no. They use different stones with different grits to achieve the desired result. The point I am trying to make here is that a single abrasive/grit is not always sufficient. Having a system that offers more than one stage is great, because it makes it that much more flexible, versatile, and complete. The Minosharp Plus 3 has 3 sets of sharpeners - fine, medium and coarse. The ceramic wheels are larger and longer lasting, than the wheels on the original minosharp.

Sharpening or honing?: Sharpening | Holding method: Handheld and non-slip base | Type: Manual What we like If ease of use is your primary consideration, one of these hand held sharpeners is the perfect sharpening tool for you. There are three different models, the MinoSharp, the MinoSharp Plus and the MinoSharp 3. All models can only be used for knives that are equally sharpened on both sides. They cannot be used for serrated knives or knives sharpened on one side like the Bunmei knives. All of the MinoSharps use ceramic wheels for sharpening. A knife is arguably the most important tool in the kitchen, but it's essential that the blade is sharp. When blunt, you have less control and are more likely to see the knife slide off the food, thereby making cooking a more hazardous process. The MinoSharp Shinkansen Knife Sharpener was designed specifically to work with high-end Global knives. The water sharpener method is effective and powerful without the risk of cutlery damage, which is especially important when you're working with pricey knives.

6. Best electric knife sharpener: Chef’s Choice Twin Rotary Sharpener

Versatility: Most home cooks will have a chef’s knife, a boning knife, a carving knife and a paring knife. The ideal knife sharpener should work well on all of them. Some sharpeners are also suitable for scissors and garden tools. Gemma is a mum of two grown-up children, has two dogs and a tortoise. Alongside her writing, she spent many years as a home and travel expert and breastfeeding counsellor at a leading nursery retailer. Gemma is also a sensory analyst (chocolate taster!). How do I use this daunting metal rod?" I hear you ask. Well, it's not too hard, really. The best way for a beginner is to balance the steel on a surface with the tip secured by a damp tea towel. You want to get that angle right, whether it's around 15 degrees for a Japanese knife or 20 degrees on a German or French blade. Then swipe slowly down, away from you, making sure the whole blade is honed – around five swipes on each side should do. This stylish sharpener is small, so it is easy to store, and it looks and feels as though it has been expertly constructed and will last for years.

The Chef’s Choice Twin Rotary Electric Knife Sharpener is a multi-tasking marvel. It sharpens straight, serrated knives and then polishes them for a pristine edge. With this clever machine in your kitchen, all your knives will easily pass the tomato test.I have a set of Global knives which in my mind is one of the most important piece of equipment you can have in the kitchen. Over a period of several uses, I have noticed my knives becoming blunt. I normally grab a piece of paper and run it along the blades. If it doesn't cut through the paper without additional force, in my opinion the knives will need sharpening. The Sharpal Diamond Honing Steel is a traditional method of maintaining a knife blade; steels can be found in most professional kitchens. Honing is a skill that takes a little time and patience, but once mastered, it will transform the effectiveness of your knives. Honing is what you will do most often; it maintains a blade that is already sharp by polishing the rough edge. If you do this regularly, the need to sharpen will be minimised to once or twice a year. Like the MinoSharp, the MinoSharp Plus has two sharpening wheels, one rough and one medium. The are the exact same grits as the wheels in the MinoSharp only larger. Not only do the larger wheels create a longer lasting edge, they are also more powerful than the smaller wheels. This sharpener can return a sharp edge to a dull knife.
