Product Description

This handy Ceramic Sharpener is ideal for sharpening Global and Porsche knives. The two-stage process requires the ceramic wheels to be soaked in water for a few minutes before use, which enables the blade to glide through the wheels with ease.

· Ideal for those who find using a ceramic steel or wet stone difficult
· Pre-set, 2 stage sharpener for optimum results
· Perfect for all types of Global, Porsche and Asian knives
· Wheels are lubricated with water to aid the sharpening process and minimise fiction
· Also available in a grey & black combination

I bought one of these because I was tired with dragging out the whetstones each time my knives needed sharpening. I was surprised that this actually produced a far sharper blade than I could with a big whetstone set.

This version will take a knife from completely blunt to razor sharp with very little effort. You could probably do the classic Samurai silk scarf test on a Minosharp sharpened Global knife but it is a little impractical in the kitchen. A reasonable-sized global knife sharpened on one of these should drop through a tomato under its own weight easily.

One slight niggle (too small to dent the five star rating) - it does make a few small scratches on the knife blade. These are no worse than the general wear-and-tear marks they'll pick up with any moderate use and it shouldn't put you off.

If you use Global knives this is a must. Because it is so little effort, you'll keep your knives sharper and thus safer. Worth every penny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant knife sharpener. 26 Jun 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase
I have been dithering for some time about purchasing a knife sharpener, after reading the comments of others on this particular model decided to buy.
A good decision, plus a drawer full of sharp knives!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best sharpener out there 13 Jun 2008
I bought this when I couldnt find anywhere that sharpens knives anymore and saw all the good reviews. It turned out to be a very good decision as the reviews are correct. This sharpens all knives brilliantly even cheap ones. I dont have global knives but this sharpener has easily and quickly sharpened ever knife that I own. Brilliant.

1.0 out of 5 stars Back to a Whetstone!
On first use this sharpener was very good. But very shortly the wheels split. Very expensive replacement wheels also broke very soon. Not worth buying!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for Global knives
I didn't think I would ever be able to sharpen my Global knives again to such a good standard. Even taking them to a shop to sharpen them wasn't as good.
