Every effort is made to ensure that goods are delivered on time, although delivery times are given without obligation or guarantee due to the reliance on a third party carrier. Delivery of bulky, fragile or heavy items If you are not inclined to use a sharpening steel or whetstone - the minosharp knife sharpener will produce excellent results with very little effort. Answer: I would not use this to sharpen the following knives: ceramic, serrated and single sided blades (like sushi blades). I would also refrain from using this to work on any tools (scissors and shears). The MinoSharp SH550/BR water sharpener is manufactured in Japan from high quality materials, including the three ceramic wheels contained within. The wheels offer three levels of coarseness, allowing you to get the perfect level of sharpness for your knives. Although it’s designed for use with Global Knives, it will work perfectly with most brands. There are 3 different kits, one containing a rough (240 grit) stone, one containing a medium (1000 grit) stone, and one containing a super fine (6000 grit) stone. Each kit contains a stone, a set of guide rails and a plastic holder which doubles as a storage box and a base to elevate the stone above a counter during sharpening. The storage box is ventilated so that the whetstone will dry if it is put into the box while still wet.Three sharpening finishes, coarse, medium and fine, all set at an angle to give face as well as tip sharpening. Perhaps it will sharpen a dull blade to something useable but it does not provide the edge it promises. Will look to professional knife sharpening services instead. With the hope of sharpening a set of knives, this sharpener did not perform as suggested. Careful following of the instructions did not yield a sharp edge, even after repeated attempts. Should not be used for Global knives with chamferred blades, which are sharpened on one side only. These knives should always be sharpened on a whetstone.

This should be the most obvious and least surprising of the pros in this review. One look at the product pictures and you’d already have an idea of how this thing is supposed to work! The wheels are color coded as white to be the coarse grit and pink to be the medium grit. Some people are not sure how much water to add to the compartment and the answer to this, is you add enough water such that when you spin the sharpening wheels, they are evenly lubricated with water. Rule of thumb: It’s always best to add less water than more! It makes the process less aggressive– If you’ve ever seen someone use a ceramic water stone, you may have noticed how smooth and natural it looks. There is no resistance and the edge is slowly worked to perfection. Water plays a huge part in this as it reduces the friction and heat. It makes sharpening feel unforced!Like the MinoSharp, the MinoSharp Plus has two sharpening wheels, one rough and one medium. The are the exact same grits as the wheels in the MinoSharp only larger. Not only do the larger wheels create a longer lasting edge, they are also more powerful than the smaller wheels. This sharpener can return a sharp edge to a dull knife.

Minosharp Plus 3 Ceramic Water Sharpener 550 - Black/Red

A very efficient ceramic roller knife sharpener from Japan. It includes medium and coarse rollers and a water bath system. The design, which is based on the Japanese bullet train, includes a very comfortable handle. It is important to note that there are three models of this knife sharpener. The SH220 Minosharp is only suitable for Global knives. It washes away steel residue– Water cleans both the blade as well as the ceramic abrasive of any steel residue that results from sharpening. Cleaning the abrasive in particular ensures it remains clean at all times, and is not loaded with steel.The guide rails are sold as a set which includes a small and large guide rail. The small guide rail is suitable for knives with blade lengths less than 6". The large guide rail is suitable for knives larger than 6". The guide rails are lined with plastic to minimize scratching on the knives during their use. Any time you remove one of the guide rails from your knife, rinse and clean it thoroughly to remove any residue from the stone that may remain inside the guide rail. To further insure that no residue remains, it is recommended that you pull a clean towel through the guide rail after rinsing. If you fail to remove all the residue from the guide rail, the residue may scratch the knife the next time the guide rail is used. If ease of use is your primary consideration, one of these handheld sharpeners is the correct sharpening tool for you. With three grooves - coarse, medium and fine - you take the knife through both a few times and a minute later you have a sharp knife again.
