We were lucky enough to have received some Global knives when we got married in 2013. After almost a year of daily use, the blades were still sharp, but not as sharp as they once were. After some research looking at recommendations of whet stones, I decided to purchase this.
Problem with whetstones is that you need to hold the knife at a 10-15 degree angle - which Im sure is really difficult to maintain. If you dont sharpen at that angle, you are more than likely going to damage the blade, which when you consider that you wont be sharpening the knives that often & when you consider how much Global knives cost, not something you want to do.
The Global knives website recommends the Minosharp for home use.
Simply pop open the plastic casing, fill the container with water & pop the lid back on
Run your knife forwards and backwards a few times - you DONT need to use excessive force to get your knives back to an excellent condition. The shape of the ceramic stones & the slots in the plastic cover ensure that you maintain that 10-15 degree angle that is so important not to damage your knives.
The rubber grip on the handle makes it easier to hold.
Sure - the Minosharp might not look as pretty as the Global branded ceramic whetstone (do a google search - it looks like a gold bar & has an RRP of almost £165!!!) but its going to be left in a kitchen drawer until you need it.
A really good purchase for the price - can thoroughly recommend to keep your expensive knives in tip top condition.
