Robert Welch Signature Hand Held Knife Sharpener

MULTI AWARD WINNING BRITISH DESIGN - A hand-held knife sharpener designed to easily and perfectly sharpen your kitchen knives. The ergonomic design gives maximum efficiency and comfort in use. Features a replaceable ceramic wheel and non-slip base for quick and easy knife sharpening. EASY TO USE - The ceramic wheel is covered by a clear knife-guide, designed to keep the knives in the correct position. Sharpen little and often, until the desired edge sharpness is achieved. DURABLE AND PRACTICAL - A tactile and 'firm grip' handle provides a secure and safe hold and the clear cover over the ceramic wheel is designed to ensure that fingers are safely out of harm’s way. A non-slip base ensures the sharpener stays firmly in position whilst in use. WATER SHARPENING (recommended): 1. Remove the clear guide, fill the recess under the ceramic wheel with water and replace guide. 2. Hold sharpener firmly on a flat surface. 3. Align your blade within the guide, slide the blade back and forth through the ceramic wheel 10 - 20 times from heel to tip (applying light pressure) until desired sharpness has been achieved. 4. Rinse and dry your knife thoroughly. 5. Sharpen twice a month (or to suit) to maintain the desired edge sharpness. DRY SHARPENING (quick) 1. Hold sharpener firmly on a flat surface. 2.

REPLACEMENT WHEELS - We recommend that after 12-24 months, depending on the frequency of use, you change the ceramic sharpening wheel in order to maintain your knife’s cutting edge to a high standard. Replacement wheels are available in Robert Welch store. COMPATIBILITY - The sharpener is suitable for all plain edge knives. It is not suitable for serrated knives. CLEANING - The sharpener should be cleaned periodically by hand, lifting the clear guard off to wipe inside using a damp micro-fibre cloth and then dried thoroughly before replacing the guard. The ceramic wheel can be removed and washed in the dishwasher to prevent a build-up of sharpener dust. GUARANTEE - The hand-held knife sharpener has a 10 Year Guarantee.
