Description

The four-angle roller with six discs. It takes a knife from very blunt to polished, and the magnetic base holds the blade at the angle that suits it.

Work up through the discs in order: 240, 400, 600, 1000, 5000, then 8000 grit. You rarely need all six. Start where the edge needs it and stop when the knife cuts cleanly, or carry on to 5000 and 8000 for a polished edge.

In the box: the wooden roller, the four-angle magnetic base and six discs: two grooved stones (240 and 600 grit), two diamond discs (400 and 1000 grit) and two polishing discs (5000 and 8000 grit). 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 or chipped edge, 400 grit for a blunt one, 1000 grit for a regular top-up. 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, in grit order: 240, 400, 600, 1000, 5000, 8000. 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 last 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.

How it works

How does it work?

The base holds your knife at the angle you choose while you work up through the discs.

Your knife cuts cleanly again.

Six discs

Every step, one set

Coarse discs reshape a blunt edge, medium ones sharpen it and the finest two polish it. The base keeps the angle the same with every disc.

Questions

Before you buy

Another question? Write to us.

Which disc do I start with?

Start with 240 grit if the edge is very blunt or chipped, 400 grit if it is blunt, or 1000 grit for a regular top-up. Then go up one disc at a time. 5000 and 8000 grit are for a polished finish.

Do I need all six discs every time?

No. Most of the time a knife only needs a top-up at 1000 grit, perhaps followed by 5000 and 8000. The coarse discs are for a very blunt or damaged edge.

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.

How is it different from the Rolling Knife Sharpener, Four Angles?

The roller and the base are the same. That model comes with two diamond discs, 400 and 1000 grit. This set has six, from 240 to 8000 grit, for very blunt edges and for a polished 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.
