"Just slide your blade through a few times and you've got a perfectly sharp new knife, no honing rod required."

"This lightweight, pull-through sharpener is tiny, but mighty and will keep even your oldest knives like new."

Let's make good things last

First time sharpener? Simply hold your knife in one hand and hold the sharpener on a flat surface with the other. Then, place the wide end of the blade in the sharpener and draw the knife back towards you, all the way through (no sawing back and forth). Rinse and repeat.

Butter or bust. If you’re not cutting through a tomato easily, it’s time for a tune-up.

Gone are the days of sending out knives for sharpening. Our Sharpener is handheld, so it’s a breeze to store, and a breeze to use.

Care for your stuff. Do it regularly. You’ll get more for your money. We’ll take less from the environment.

A Delightful Surprise

Knives are only as good as their sharpness, so I have personally helped support the whole sharpener industry by purchasing most of the ones that I have come across. Other than taking my Shun Knives with me to Japan to be sharpened by experts in person, these devices are now my daily go-to. When I first ran my knife through this, I thought 'oh no, sounds flimsy and ineffective'. But to my surprise, when I went to go dice tomatoes, the knife was decently sharpened. Good looking, small footprint, Well done Material!
