## Description

Product description A hand-held knife sharpener designed to easily and perfectly sharpen your kitchen knives. The ergonomic design gives maximum efficiency and comfort in use. Features a replaceable ceramic wheel and non-slip base for quick and easy knife sharpening. The ceramic wheel is covered by a clear knife-guide, designed to keep the knives in the correct position. Sharpen little and often, until the desired edge sharpness is achieved. A tactile and 'firm grip' handle provides a secure and safe hold and the clear cover over the ceramic wheel is designed to ensure that fingers are safely out of harm’s way. A non-slip base ensures the sharpener stays firmly in position whilst in use. WATER SHARPENING (recommended): 1. Remove the clear guide, fill the recess under the ceramic wheel with water and replace guide. 2. Hold sharpener firmly on a flat surface. 3. Align your blade within the guide, slide the blade back and forth through the ceramic wheel 10 - 20 times from heel to tip (applying light pressure) until desired sharpness has been achieved. 4. Rinse and dry your knife thoroughly. 5. Sharpen twice a month (or to suit) to maintain the desired edge sharpness. DRY SHARPENING (quick) 1. Hold sharpener firmly on a flat surface. 2. Align your blade within the guide, slide the blade back and forth through the ceramic wheel 10 - 20 times from heel to tip (applying light pressure) until desired sharpness has been achieved. 3. Rinse and dry your knife thoroughly. 4. Sharpen twice a month (or to suit) to maintain the desired edge sharpness. We recommend that after 12-24 months, depending on the frequency of use, you change the ceramic sharpening wheel in order to maintain your knife’s cutting edge to a high standard. Replacement wheels are available in Robert Welch store. Box Contains 1 x Signature Handheld Knife Sharpener

Review: Very impressive sharpener - I’m sure this would work on many knives but I bought this to go with my Robert Welch knife set. It’s simple to use and very effective. A few strokes after each use and it keeps my knives super sharp. The sharpening wheel can be replaced at a reasonable cost too so will last forever. Nice neat design with non slip bottom which fits neatly in the draw between uses.
Review: Puts a great edge on knives - Excellent sharpener - no real skills needed and it puts a correct 15 degree edge on Japanese knives. I have a mix of Robert Welch and Global and it gives them a razor edge especially if you use a leather strop afterwards.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Keen Edged Purchase
*by D***C on 18 February 2025*

Having recently bought a high quality (very expensive) Robert Welch (RW) knife, I wanted a sharpener to match. As many will know there's quite a choice of sharpeners out there. In the end, I chose RW's own as, logically, it should match the quality of their knives. Yes, I had taken note of some of the negative reviews. However, I'm pretty sure that some of these are, as is often the case, user error. I've read & applied the instructions carefully. The RW sharpener does a great job, used properly, and I've even managed to sharpen some scissors. You get what you pay for, usually, and this product isn't overpriced for its ease of use & performance.
