Ceramic Knife Sharpeners

Ceramic material has the hardness of glass which is much harder than steel. But unlike glass, ceramic is abrasive. And it is this combination of abrasive hardness that makes ceramic such a good knife sharpener. To use it, draw the knife across the tube away from the handle. Keep the knife at about a 20 to 30-degree angle. Two or three minutes on each side and your knife should be sharp enough to shave with. As with other ceramic sharpeners, it will become darkened with the steel it removes. But it cleans up easily with cleanser and water.

Diamond Knife Sharpeners

A knife sharpener made with industrial diamonds is a great choice for knives and tools that need a sharp edge. Diamonds have a relative hardness of 10. Diamond knife sharpeners come in different styles of grit, we would suggest a variety for your different sharpening needs. You can choose from:

• Extra Coarse – This coarse is perfect for outdoor tools, or dull knives that need aggressive removal of metal. It works great on axes, machetes, even lawn mower blades!
• Coarse – If you desire a cutting fast action without worrying about edge refinement, then this is the most often used grit for utility tools and kitchen knives.
• Fine – A fine grit restores a fine edge to any knife or tool that is slightly dull. It\'s also a great finishing grit to use to create that smooth edge refinement.

Diamond sharpeners are a perfect choice to sharpen a ceramic knife, but you must remove all scratches caused by the diamonds. Scratches act as stress risers and can cause the brittle ceramic blade to fracture. Use the finest grit possible to create a smooth finish.

Knife sharpeners are a must have item for any knife owner, whether it’s kitchen knives or hobby, outdoor knives. Buy yourself a great knife sharpener, and give your loved one the gift of one today. You will no longer have to endure the frustration and danger of working with a dull knife.

Knife Sharpening Steels

Butcher steels are the long steel rods used by chef’s to maintain an edge on kitchen knives. Butcher’s steels are also available with ceramic or diamond-coated rods. The steel will not grind a bevel so you’ll need some other tool to do that. Most chefs use bench stones for grinding. Steels will allow you to keep the knife sharp between grindings. We recommend you use one in your kitchen and give your blades a couple of swipes on each side every time you use them.
