Kyocera Ceramic Wheel Knife Sharpener for Steel Knives (RSN-20 BK)
This sharpener is for steel knives. Its wheels are advanced ceramic, a material Kyocera describes as close to diamond in hardness, and they sharpen both faces of a double-beveled steel blade in a few quick passes. Kyocera built it for quick sharpening of everyday kitchen knives.Rubber feet hold it in place on the counter, and the ergonomic body gives the other hand a secure grip. A clear cover over the wheels opens so the filings can be dumped and rinsed out.Customers ask us how to sharpen their Kyocera ceramic knives, and the answer is not this tool. A ceramic wheel cannot sharpen a ceramic blade. For Kyocera ceramic knives, use the Kyocera Diamond Wheel Knife Sharpener, or send the knife to EVERSHARP, Kyocera’s authorized service provider, through Kyocera’s sharpening service page. This sharpener is also not recommended for single-bevel or serrated knives.

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.
