Sharp Knives Without Learning to Use a Whetstone
A dull knife slips, squashes tomatoes and makes cooking slower. This rolling sharpener makes knife care simple: rest the blade on the magnetic angle guide, roll the drum along the edge, and the diamond-coated discs do the work, coarse first, then fine. It suits beginners and experienced cooks alike.

Why most knives in the drawer are dull
How it works
Hold, roll, done
The knife sits on the magnetic angle guide, so the blade stays at the same angle the whole time. You simply roll the drum back and forth along the edge with light pressure.
The smooth rolling action helps you get a clean edge without taking off more steel than needed, and it can be quicker than sharpening on a whetstone. Many people find they reach a really sharp edge with little effort.
Two discs
Coarse to restore, fine to refine
The drum has a diamond powder-coated disc on each end. The 400 grit side restores a dull edge, and the 1000 grit side refines it to a clean, sharp finish.
The diamond coating keeps the discs effective for a long time, so the sharpener stays useful for years of kitchen work.
The angle guide
15° or 20°, whichever your knife needs
The wooden angle guide has two preset angles: 20° on one side for sturdier edges and 15° on the other for finer, thinner blades such as many Japanese-style knives. You find the right angle without guessing.
A magnetic pad holds the knife in place while you work, and silicone feet underneath keep the guide steady on the worktop.
Built to last
Stainless steel, solid wood and silicone
The drum is made of stainless steel and solid wood, with a wood grain finish that looks good left out on the counter.
Silicone ring roller wheels give a smooth, even roll for consistent sharpening, and the solid wooden grip sits comfortably in the hand.
How to use
Sharpen in four steps
1. Attach the knife
Place the blade on the magnetic angle guide, using the 15° or 20° side to suit your knife.
2. Coarse disc first
Roll the 400 grit disc along the edge with light pressure.
3. Then the fine disc
Switch to the 1000 grit disc and roll again to refine the edge.
4. Repeat as needed
Continue until you reach the sharpness you want. A strop can polish the edge further afterwards.

Questions people ask
Which knives can I sharpen?
Many kinds of kitchen knives, including chef knives and paring knives. Take care with serrated or ceramic blades, as they need special tools.
Which angle should I use?
The guide has a 15° side and a 20° side. Choose the angle that matches your knife: 15° for finer blades, 20° for sturdier ones.
How often should I sharpen?
It depends on how often you use your knives. A honing rod can help keep an edge between sharpenings by realigning the blade, but it does not actually sharpen it.
