Sharpeners

What is a knife sharpener?

A knife sharpener is a kitchen accessory used to maintain the edge of knives and prevent them from becoming damaged or breaking easily.

If your household knives are perfectly sharpened, you’ll be able to cut, peel, and fillet, among many other tasks, more quickly and precisely. You’ll notice how much better and faster they cut. They are very easy to use—simply run the knife blade through the different slots of the sharpener.

Types of knife sharpeners

At Arcos, we offer different types of knife sharpeners:

• With handle: one hand holds it while the other passes the knife blade through the sharpener.
• Tabletop: available in both manual and electric versions. They include a non-slip base for greater stability. Always use them on a flat surface.
• With multiple slots: these are much more versatile, as you can sharpen and also perform other functions such as repairing, polishing, or even giving your knives a shine.

How does a professional knife sharpener work?

Regardless of the type of sharpener you choose, the process is more or less the same. To sharpen your knife, carefully insert the blade edge into the slot.

The finish will depend on the material used.

Before using the sharpener, make sure the knife is completely clean and dry.

If you choose a manual knife sharpener, remember that you’ll need to make several forward and backward movements to get the best results from this kitchen tool.
