Description

Sharpening does not end at the disc. The Finishing Set pairs a rolling sharpener with a strop, so you sharpen the edge and then polish it.

A magnetic block holds the blade at 15° or 20° while you roll. Use the 240 grit disc to restore a blunt edge, then the 1000 grit disc to refine it. A few light strokes on the strop remove the fine burr that sharpening leaves, for a smoother, polished edge.

In the box: the roller with its 240 and 1000 grit diamond discs, the magnetic angle block (15° and 20°) and the strop (28 cm). A free sharpening guide is sent by email with your order.

Good to know: for plain-edged (straight-edged) kitchen knives. Not for serrated or ceramic blades. This set has a darker wood finish than the Rolling Knife Sharpener.

How to use

1. Start with a clean, dry knife. Put the angle block on a flat, dry worktop.

2. Choose your angle: 20° for most kitchen knives, 15° for a finer edge on thin slicing knives.

3. Rest the flat of the blade against the magnetic side, edge facing up.

4. Roll the 240 grit disc back and forth along the edge, from heel to tip, with light pressure. Let the disc do the work.

5. Turn the knife round and do the other side, with the same number of passes.

6. Repeat on both sides with the 1000 grit disc.

7. Finish on the strop. Lay it flat on the worktop, pad up, and hold the handle. Draw the blade backwards along the pad, spine first, with light pressure. Do a few strokes on each side.

8. To check, slice a sheet of paper held upright. A clean cut means the edge is ready.

9. Wipe the blade clean before you cook with it, and wipe the discs with a dry cloth.

Keep your fingers on the roller, never in front of the edge. On the strop, never push the edge forwards into the pad. If the knife is only a little blunt, skip the 240 grit disc and start with the 1000.

How it works

How does it work?

The block holds your knife at a fixed angle while you roll, then the strop polishes the edge.

Set the blade
01

Set the blade

Rest the blade against the magnetic block, on the 15° or the 20° side.

Roll
02

Roll

Roll the disc along the edge, then turn the knife and do the other side.

Strop
03

Strop

Draw the blade backwards along the strop to polish the edge.

Why it works

Sharp, then polished

The magnetic block keeps the same angle from heel to tip, which is the hard part of sharpening. The strop adds the last step, the one that turns a sharp edge into a polished one.

Finish on the strop

The strop

Finish on the strop

Sharpening leaves a fine burr, a thin wire of metal, along the edge. A few light strokes on the strop remove it and leave the edge smooth and polished. It is the last step, after the discs.

Four good reasons

Every day

Four good reasons

  • Same angle, every passThe magnetic block holds the blade at 15° or 20°.
  • Easy from the first goRest the knife on the block and roll.
  • Two-stage sharpening240 grit restores a blunt edge, 1000 grit refines it.
  • A polished finishThe strop smooths the edge once it is sharp.
Three parts, nothing fiddly

In the box

Three parts, nothing fiddly

  • Roller with two diamond discs240 grit and 1000 grit, one at each end.
  • Magnetic angle blockTwo sides, 15° and 20°, with magnets that hold the blade in place.
  • Strop28 cm long, with a handle to hold it steady on the worktop.
Coarse, fine, then strop

The order

Coarse, fine, then strop

The lower the number, the coarser the disc. Start with 240 grit to bring a blunt edge back, move to 1000 grit to refine it, then finish on the strop. Always in that order.

Questions

Before you buy

Another question? Write to us.

What does the strop do?

It is the last step. Sharpening leaves a fine burr, a thin wire of metal, along the edge. A few light strokes on the strop remove it and polish the edge, so the knife cuts more smoothly.

How do I use the strop?

Lay it flat on the worktop, pad up, and hold the handle. Draw the blade backwards along the pad, spine first, with light pressure, a few strokes on each side. Never push the edge forwards into the pad.

I've never sharpened a knife. Is it easy?

Yes. The magnetic block holds the blade at the right angle, so all you do is roll. A free sharpening guide arrives by email with your order.

Which knives can I sharpen?

Plain-edged kitchen knives, such as chef's knives and carving knives. It is not for serrated knives, such as bread knives, or for ceramic blades.

How is it different from the Rolling Knife Sharpener?

The method is the same. The Finishing Set adds a strop, starts with a coarser disc (240 grit instead of 400) and has a darker wood finish.

What about delivery and returns?

Delivery is free in the UK and takes 7 to 10 working days. If you change your mind, you have 30 days to send it back unused, and it comes with a 2-year guarantee.
