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.
