Rotating, Carbonitrided Steel Discs Perfect the Cutting Edge
What We Love About This Item:
Description
This is a simple knife sharpener that produces fast results. Carbonitriding is an industrial process which forms a very hard, highly wear-resistant surface on steel. To sharpen, hold the Sharpener against a table surface right-side up and pull the blade through the steel discs with your other hand, using medium pressure. You’ll quickly feel the cutters biting into the blade and sharpening it. Our sharpener works equally well for sharpening a fixed blade knife, a folding pocketknife, or a kitchen knife.
The handle is made from Bubinga, a hard durable wood. Overall length is 7-3/4" the handle is 4-1/2". It really works. Great value. Thanks, Italy.

"I like this for dull knives, not so much for a well kept knife. When you drag the knife across this very practicle sharpner, you will see quite a bit of steel on the counter. That said on a truly dull knife it is great. A well kept knife, this is overkill. I still bought a few for gifts for folks who are not as good at keeping their knives sharp. They will love this little work horse."
"I was looking for something I couldn’t find in the catalog. I received thorough and efficient help from a real person! 😊"
"I am very happy with my order of the Italian knife sharpener. It works great! It's the same variety I used while growing up. Great quality. But, I am more than not impressed with the shipping of this item. The shipping cost was high and it was merely dropped into a thin plastic bag that had no packing material to protect it from damage. Fortunately it was not damaged, but not due to diligence."
"I have used one of these before, it has been misplaced. It was great to come across another."
"Get one."
"Works great"
"I love this sharpener! It is easy to use, and I travel with it, too! Every single rental we have been in has dull knives, so this sharpener is a life saver! It is well-made."
"Great sharpener. It's comfortable to hold, it's intuitive to use, and gives good results. You do want to use it on top of a rag or a cutting board because otherwise the knife will absolutely hit the countertop out table where you're using it. But I'm happy i chose this to replace my old 20 year-old sharpener."
"The wood handle makes for a firm steady grip. Knife sharpen very fast."
"This is a fantastic knife sharpener. It’s easy to use and works really well at sharpening knives."
