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

Kitchen knives in a typical home kitchen often endure a tough life, tossed into dishwashers and carelessly stored in kitchen drawers, which can lead to minor dings and micro-corrosion on the blades. Traditional pull-through sharpeners, although fast and easy to use, may inadvertently catch on these small notches, causing further damage. On the other end of the spectrum, methods like whetstones and sharpening rods are gentler and can address minor blade damage, but they require a much higher level of skill and patience than most home chefs have time for, with proper sharpening of a single blunt knife potentially taking 30 minutes or more.

The Smart Sharp has been designed to combine the best features of these sharpening methods into a single device. It offers the speed and ease of use of a traditional pull-through sharpener, while incorporating aspects of whetstone sharpening to protect knives and make the process more effective and gentle. The 3-stage sharpening process of the Smart Sharp first 'roughens' the knife edge to prepare it for the second stage, where precision-angled tungsten carbide plates create the perfect sharpened 'V' edge, even on the bluntest of knives. The final stage then removes any burrs and polishes the blade for a brilliant finish.

The Smart Sharp is suitable for a wide range of Western-style kitchen knives, including straight-edge steel knives, hardened steel knives, and wide serrated knives (such as bread knives), all of which are typically sharpened to an angle of around 20 degrees. However, it is not recommended for use on ceramic knives, scissors, micro-serrated knives, Japanese-style knives, or knives that have been sharpened using whetstones or steel over an extended period, as they may have developed a different or uneven blade angle.

The Smart Sharp features an ergonomic and comfortable handle, as well as a rubberized grip and heavy-duty, non-slip base, ensuring stability and safety for both right-handed and left-handed users. It comes in three great colors - classic black, deep red, and vibrant green - to complement any kitchen decor. The product also comes with full instructions, a helpful quick-start video guide, and access to a team of sharpening experts for any additional support the user may need.
