Lantana Smart Sharp Knife Sharpener - Professional 3 Stage Manual for Kitchen Knives

Knives in a typical home kitchen often face a tough life. They are tossed into dishwashers and slung into kitchen drawers, which can lead to minor dings and areas of micro corrosion on the blades. Traditional pull-through sharpeners, while fast and easy to use, can sometimes "catch" on these small notches, potentially causing further damage.

On the other end of the spectrum, methods such as whetstones and sharpening rods are gentler and can deal with minor blade damage. However, these techniques require a much higher level of skill and patience than most busy home chefs have time for, with a single blunt knife properly sharpened on a whetstone taking 30 minutes or more.

The Smart Sharp has been designed to combine the best features of these sharpening methods into a single, user-friendly device. It has the speed and ease of use of a traditional, single-stage pull-through sharpener, while also incorporating aspects of whetstone sharpening to protect knives and make the process more effective and gentle.

The Smart Sharp's 3-stage process works as follows: 1. The coarse, diamond-coated rods "roughen" the knife edge to prepare the surface for sharpening and smooth out any nicks and imperfections. 2. The hardened tungsten carbide plates then create the perfect, precision-angled "V" edge, even on the bluntest of knives. 3. The final stage uses fine ceramic stone rods to remove any burrs and gently polish the blade edges for a super-sharp finish.

This 3-stage approach gives users the best of both worlds - highly effective sharpening that can quickly restore knives to their former sharpness.

The Smart Sharp is designed for use with most Western-style kitchen knives, including straight-edge steel knives, hardened steel knives, and wide serrated knives (such as bread knives). However, it is not suitable for ceramic knives, scissors, micro-serrated knives, Japanese-style knives, or knives that have been heavily sharpened with whetstones or steels over time.

For ease of use, the Smart Sharp features an ergonomic, comfortable handle and a heavy-duty, non-slip rubber base to ensure stability and safety during sharpening. It is available in three great colors - classic black, deep red, and vibrant green - to complement any kitchen décor.

With simple instructions, a helpful quick-start video guide, and access to a team of UK sharpening experts, the Smart Sharp makes keeping kitchen knives in top condition quick, easy, and hassle-free.
