- Kitchen knives in a typical home kitchen don't get an easy life! Tossed into dishwashers, and slung away into kitchen drawers, knives can pick up minor dings and areas of micro corrosion.
Â
- Other pull-through sharpeners, although fast and easy to use, can 'catch' on these small notches on the blade which may cause further damage.
- At the other end of the sharpening spectrum, methods such as whetstones and sharpening rods are gentler and can deal with minor blade damage. However, they also require a much higher level of skill and patience than the typical busy home chef has time for. Sharpening a single blunt knife properly with a whetstone can take 30 minutes or more.
Â
- The Smart Sharp has been designed to combine the best features of each of these sharpening methods into one single device.
- The Smart Sharp has the speed and ease of use of the traditional, single-stage pull-through sharpener. It also blends aspects from whetstone sharpening to protect your knives and makes sharpening gentler and more effective.
Â
- The Smart Sharp's first stage works on day-to-day nicks and imperfections on the blade edge, which allows for smooth and even sharpening on stage 2. The final stage removes any burs and polishes the blade for a brilliant finish.
