Product Information

Thanks for the reply, these are the knives I have.. http://www.amefa.co.uk/richardson_sheffield_products.html#MidoriProduct It makes the process less aggressive– If you’ve ever seen someone use a ceramic water stone, you may have noticed how smooth and natural it looks. There is no resistance and the edge is slowly worked to perfection. Water plays a huge part in this as it reduces the friction and heat. It makes sharpening feel unforced!

Answer: I would not use this to sharpen the following knives: ceramic, serrated and single sided blades (like sushi blades). I would also refrain from using this to work on any tools (scissors and shears). The sharpener is sturdy, and has very good quality big ceramic stones. The ceramic stones are made in Japan, and the plastic is made in China. I would definitely trust the made in Japan quality, because they never fail me.

It washes away steel residue– Water cleans both the blade as well as the ceramic abrasive of any steel residue that results from sharpening. Cleaning the abrasive in particular ensures it remains clean at all times, and is not loaded with steel.Knives From Japan Registered office Knives From Japan Ltd, Silversteel Manor, Carrwood Road, Sheepbridge, Chesterfield, S41 9QB, Registered in UK

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. These guide rails are designed to help maintain the correct angle for sharpening knives when sharpening with a whetstone. The angle is between 10 and 15 degrees. I've only sharpened my knife once since I bought it, and it's still very sharp after 2 weeks! I feel like my global knife is alive again! Just one chop, and my sandwich cuts in half, just like brand new when I first bought it. 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.The sharpener really lived up to its expectation, and i'm really loving it! I even used a piece of paper to test the sharpness of it like the demo I saw on youtube. The SH550/BR has a sleek and compact design and weighs just 230g, so it’s ideal for use in any kitchen, whether domestic or commercial. Although it’s compact, it’s still sturdy enough to handle easily without worrying about it becoming unsteady during use.
