Description

The four-angle sharpener with a disc for every state of edge. Four diamond discs take a knife from very blunt to clean and sharp: 240 grit to restore, 400 to sharpen, 600 to refine and 1000 to finish.

The magnetic base holds the blade steady at 15°, 18°, 20° or 22°, so the angle is the same on every pass and with every disc. Start with the coarsest disc the edge needs, then work up in order.

In the box: the brown roller, four diamond discs (240, 400, 600 and 1000 grit) and the four-angle magnetic base with its walnut top. A free sharpening guide is sent by email with your order.

Good to know: the roller carries two discs at a time, one at each end. For plain-edged (straight-edged) kitchen knives. Not for serrated or ceramic blades. A very narrow blade may not stand clear of the base.

How to use

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

2. Choose your angle: 15° for thin blades, 18° for small everyday knives, 20° for most kitchen knives, 22° for thick, heavy blades. Not sure? Start with 20°.

3. Pick your first disc: 240 grit for a very blunt edge, 400 grit for a knife that is only a little blunt. Fit it on the roller.

4. Rest the flat of the blade against the side of the base marked with your angle, edge facing up. The magnets hold it in place.

5. Hold the base still with one hand. Roll the disc back and forth along the edge, from heel to tip, with light pressure.

6. Turn the knife round and do the other side, at the same angle and with the same number of passes.

7. Move up one disc at a time, 240, 400, 600, then 1000 grit. Do both sides with each disc.

8. Test the edge on a sheet of paper held upright. If it catches or tears, make a few more passes on each side with the 1000 grit disc.

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

Keep your fingers on the roller and away from the edge while you roll. The free sharpening guide shows each step.

How it works

How does it work?

Why it works

Four angles, one base

The hard part of sharpening is keeping the same angle from heel to tip. The magnetic base does that for you, at the angle that suits your knife.

Which angle for which knife

The angles

  • 15°Thin blades, for a finer edge.
  • 18°Small everyday knives.
  • 20°Most kitchen knives. Not sure? Start here.

Questions

Before you buy

Another question? Write to us.

Which disc do I start with?

It depends on the knife. Start with 240 grit if the edge is very blunt, or with 400 grit if it is only a little blunt. Then go up one disc at a time to 1000 grit.

How is it different from the four-angle walnut sharpener?

The roller and the base are the same. The walnut sharpener comes with two discs, 400 and 1000 grit. The set adds 240 grit for very blunt edges and 600 grit between the two.

15°, 18°, 20° or 22°: which angle should I use?

Use 20° for most kitchen knives. Use 15° for a finer edge on thin blades, 18° for small everyday knives and 22° for thick, heavy blades. Not sure? Start with 20°.

Which knives can I sharpen?

Plain-edged kitchen knives, such as chef's knives, carving knives and utility knives. It is not for serrated knives, such as bread knives, or for ceramic blades. A very narrow blade may not stand clear of the base.

Do the discs wear out?

Discs wear in time, like any sharpening surface. Spare discs are sold separately, so you replace a disc and keep the sharpener.

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.
