Global 9.4 in. (240mm) Ceramic Sharpener
Preserve the legendary, factory-fresh edge of your knives with the Global 9.4-inch Ceramic Sharpener. Designed for the regular maintenance that is essential for high-performance cutlery, this tool is the professional’s choice for keeping a razor-sharp edge. More than just a honing steel, its ceramic surface is harder than steel and features a fine grit that not only realigns your blade but also gently sharpens it with every pass. This sharpener is specifically engineered to be the perfect companion for Global's proprietary CROMOVA 18 high-carbon steel. While a standard steel rod is too soft to effectively hone Global's hard blades, this alumina ceramic rod has the requisite hardness to refine the acute 15° edge angle without damaging it. The 9.4-inch (240mm) length provides ample surface area for safely sharpening most sizes of kitchen knives, from paring knives to chef's knives. Reflecting Global's iconic design, the sharpener features the signature dimpled, hollow stainless steel handle. This provides a secure, slip-resistant grip for safety and control during use. For any owner of Global cutlery, this ceramic sharpener is an indispensable tool for protecting your investment and ensuring a lifetime of exceptional performance. Learn More$149.95 -

Global 2 Stage Ceramic Knife Sharpener
Restore the Signature Global Edge Without the Whetstone Learning Curve Keeping your kitchen knives sharp doesn't have to involve sharpening stones or complicated techniques. Designed by Global to maintain its own knives, the Global Ceramic 2-Stage Sharpener is also an excellent choice for many other kitchen cutlery brands. It works well on most smooth-edged, double-bevel kitchen knives, making it a practical sharpening solution whether your knife block contains Global, Wüsthof, Zwilling, MAC, Shun, Messermeister, Victorinox, or a mix of different manufacturers. Simply fill the reservoir with water and draw the knife through the sharpening wheels. The coarse wheel restores a dull edge, while the fine wheel smooths and refines it for everyday cutting. The fixed sharpening angle removes much of the guesswork, making it easy for anyone to keep kitchen knives performing their best. While this sharpener handles routine maintenance exceptionally well, it is not intended for serrated knives, ceramic knives, or traditional single-bevel Japanese knives. Knives with heavily chipped edges or broken tips should be repaired before routine sharpening. Who It's Best For
The Global Ceramic 2-Stage Sharpener is an excellent choice for home cooks who want a quick, reliable way to maintain their knives without learning to sharpen on whetstones. It is especially well suited for households with a variety of quality kitchen knives, since it works well on most double-bevel Western and Japanese-style blades. Knife Merchant Expert Tip
Many people wait until their knives become noticeably dull before sharpening. You'll achieve better long-term results by touching up the edge regularly with the fine wheel and reserving the coarse wheel for knives that have become noticeably dull. This removes less steel over time and helps extend the life of your knives. Learn More
