Description

A blunt knife slides where it should slice. This set brings the edge back in four steps, with four diamond discs that screw onto a walnut roller: 240 grit for a very blunt edge, then 400, 600 and 1000 grit to sharpen, refine and finish it.

The angle block holds the blade steady, so the angle is the same on every pass. Each steel side is engraved with its angle: use 15° for thin blades, 18° for small everyday knives, 20° for most kitchen knives and 22° for thick, heavy blades.

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

Good to know: to change a disc, unscrew it by hand and screw on the next. Each disc is printed with its grit. For plain-edged (straight-edged) kitchen knives. Not for serrated or ceramic blades.

How to use

1. Wipe the blade clean and dry. Put the block 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 or chipped edge, 400 grit for a knife that is only a little blunt. Screw it onto the roller by hand.

4. Rest the flat of the blade against the steel side of the block engraved with your angle, edge facing up. The magnet holds it in place.

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

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

7. Unscrew the disc and move up one grit at a time: 240, 400, 600, then 1000. 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.

Four angles, four grits

The hard part of sharpening is keeping the same angle from heel to tip. The block does that for you, and four discs take the edge from blunt to finished.

Questions

Before you buy

Another question? Write to us.

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

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

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 disc do I start with?

It depends on the knife. Start with 240 grit if the edge is very blunt or chipped, or with 400 grit for a regular top-up. Then go up one disc at a time to 1000 grit.

How do I change a disc?

Hold the roller and unscrew the disc by hand, then screw on the next one. No tools. Each disc is printed with its grit, so you can tell them apart.

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.

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.
