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

Kitchen knives in a typical home kitchen often face a tough life. Tossed into dishwashers and stowed away in kitchen drawers, they can pick up minor dings and areas of micro corrosion. While pull-through sharpeners are fast and easy to use, they can 'catch' on these small notches on the blade, potentially causing further damage. On the other hand, methods such as whetstones and sharpening rods are gentler and can deal with minor blade damage, but they require a much higher level of skill and patience than the average home chef has time for, with sharpening a single blunt knife properly on a whetstone taking 30 minutes or more.

The Smart Sharp has been designed to combine the best features of these sharpening methods into one single device. It has the speed and ease of use of a traditional, single-stage pull-through sharpener, while also incorporating aspects from whetstone sharpening to protect knives and make the process gentler and more effective. The first stage of the Smart Sharp works on day-to-day nicks and imperfections on the blade edge, preparing the surface for the second stage, where precision-angled tungsten carbide plates create a perfect 'V' edge on even the bluntest of knives. The final stage removes any burrs and polishes the blade for a brilliant finish.

The Smart Sharp is suitable for a wide range of kitchen knives, including straight-edge steel kitchen knives, hardened steel knives, and wide serrated knives (such as bread knives). However, it is not recommended for use on ceramic knives, scissors, micro-serrated knives, Japanese-style knives, or knives previously sharpened using whetstones or steels, as these may have developed a different or uneven blade angle over time. The Smart Sharp is also not suitable for seriously damaged knives with visible notches or dents on the blade edges.

The Smart Sharp features an ergonomic, comfortable handle and a heavy-duty, non-slip rubber base for stability and safety, making it suitable for both right-handed and left-handed users. It comes with a quick-start video guide, and users also have access to a team of sharpening experts for any further support they may need. The Smart Sharp is available in three attractive colors – classic black, deep red, and vibrant green – to complement any kitchen decor.
