Kyocera Diamond Wheel Knife Sharpener for Ceramic and Steel Knives (RSD-01 BK)
Ceramic knives stay sharp a long time, but when one finally dulls, only diamond will restore the edge. The Kyocera Diamond Wheel Knife Sharpener uses a #1000 diamond wheel built for that job, and it works on steel kitchen knives as well, so one compact tool covers the whole knife drawer.Draw the edge through the slot and the wheel turns as it sharpens. The body works for left- or right-handed use. In its catalog, Kyocera says the wheel can remove small chips, up to 0.5 mm, from a ceramic edge. Kyocera advises against using it on serrated blades, such as the Innovation White 5-inch Tomato Knife.How to sharpen a Kyocera knife is one of the questions customers put to us, and this sharpener is our first answer for home maintenance. For larger chips or an edge that is badly worn, Kyocera’s authorized service provider, EVERSHARP, resharpens ceramic knives; see Kyocera’s sharpening service page.
Diamond or Ceramic Wheel?The Kyocera Ceramic Wheel Sharpener is for steel knives only. Choose this diamond model if any ceramic knives are in the drawer. Learn More$27.95
