Description

A pull-through sharpener with an angle you can set. Turn the dial on top to any angle from 14° to 22°, then draw the knife through three slots in turn: coarse, medium and fine. A fourth slot, next to the handle, is for scissors.

It is quick and simple, for everyday kitchen knives. Hold the handle, draw the blade towards you, a few strokes in each slot. For a finer, more controlled edge, choose one of our rolling sharpeners.

In the box: one adjustable knife sharpener, in black or in black and red.

Good to know: for plain-edged knives and scissors. Use light pressure and keep your fingers away from the slots. Wipe it with a dry cloth after use.

Delivery, returns and guarantee

Delivery: free to UK addresses, in 7 to 10 working days. Delivery details.

Returns: you have 30 days from delivery to send it back, unused. Returns and refunds.

Guarantee: 2 years, in addition to your statutory rights.

How to use

1. Wipe the blade clean and dry. Put the sharpener on a flat, dry worktop.

2. Turn the dial to the angle that suits your knife: 16° for fillet knives, 20° for most kitchen knives and pocket knives, 22° for hunting knives and heavy blades. Lower settings give a finer edge on thin slicing knives. Not sure? Start with 20°.

3. Hold the sharpener firmly by its handle with one hand.

4. With the other hand, place the heel of the blade in the coarse slot, next to the dial. Draw the knife towards you in one smooth stroke, from heel to tip, with light pressure. Repeat a few times. Skip this slot if the knife is only slightly blunt.

5. Do the same in the medium slot, then in the fine slot.

6. For scissors, open them and draw one blade at a time through the scissors slot, from the pivot to the tip.

7. Wipe the blade with a clean cloth.

To check, slice a sheet of paper held upright. A clean cut means you are done. If it catches or tears, give it a few more strokes in the fine slot.

Questions

Before you buy

Another question? Write to us.

Which angle should I choose?

20° suits most kitchen knives and pocket knives. Use 16° for fillet knives, 22° for hunting knives and heavy blades, and the lower settings for thin slicing knives. Not sure? Start with 20°.

Which slot do I use first?

Start in the coarse slot, next to the dial, if the knife is blunt. Then use the medium slot and finish in the fine slot. If the knife is only slightly blunt, start in the medium slot.

Can it sharpen scissors?

Yes. Open the scissors and draw one blade at a time through the scissors slot, next to the handle.

Is it hard to use?

No. Set the angle once, hold the handle and draw the blade towards you with light pressure. A steady stroke matters more than force.

Which colour should I choose?

Both work the same way. Black is all black. Black and red has a red handle, a red dial and a red base.
