Hand Held Sharpeners

Restore Factory-Level Sharpness in Seconds with the MAC Togu Stop guessing your sharpening angle. The SR-2 provides a precise 15-degree ceramic hone designed specifically for the unique geometry of Japanese steel. Named after the Japanese verb 'Togu'—meaning to sharpen or polish—this tool is the definitive solution for chefs and home cooks who demand a razor edge without the steep learning curve of traditional whetstones. Engineered for Japanese Precision Unlike generic pull-through sharpeners that use aggressive metal v-notches, the MAC Togu utilizes a high-grade ceramic wheel. This system ensures that you are removing the absolute minimum amount of steel necessary to realign and sharpen the apex. It is factory-calibrated to a 15-degree angle, perfectly matching the original edge of MAC knives. This angle is also perfectly suitable for other premium Japanese brands like Miyabi, Shun and Suncraft.. This is a quick, easy to use sharpener that prevents the 'rounding' of the edge often caused by inconsistent manual honing. Versatility Beyond the Straight Edge One of the most remarkable features of the SR-2 is its ability to maintain MAC serrated knives. By following a simple tilting technique, you can refresh the scalloped edges of your bread or utility knives—a task usually reserved for professional sharpening services. Whether you are prepping 40 lbs of mirepoix in a commercial kitchen or slicing delicate summer tomatoes at home, the Togu ensures your blade glides with zero resistance. It is mechanical, waterproof, and built to last up to five years under regular use, making it an essential companion for anyone who relies on high-performance cutlery. Learn More

The Wüsthof two-stage hand-held sharpener gives a dull Western-style knife a new edge in a few pulls, with no angle to hold. Set it on the counter, place the blade in the slot and draw it back toward you a few times, letting the weight of the knife do the work.The first slot has carbide inserts that set a new edge on a knife that has gone dull. Wüsthof suggests using it sparingly, about once every year or two, since it removes more metal. The second slot has ceramic rods that finish and refine the edge, and it handles regular touch-ups. Both slots are set to match Wüsthof’s standard edge angle.Customers ask us whether it works on every knife. It is made for standard German-style blades. Wüsthof advises against using it on serrated edges or on Asian-style knives such as santokus and nakiris, which are ground to a narrower angle. Between sharpenings, hone with a Wüsthof 10-inch honing steel. Our guide to honing and sharpening explains when each tool is needed. Learn More

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.
Matching the Sharpener to the KnifeA kitchen with only steel knives can use this model. Once a ceramic knife joins the drawer, the diamond model handles both materials. Learn More

Sharpening on whetstones takes practice; the G-91/SB does not. Global’s handheld water sharpener holds two ceramic wheels at a fixed angle, a coarse white wheel to restore a dull edge and a fine pink wheel to refine it. Fill the reservoir with water, draw the knife back and forth through each stage a few times, and the edge is sharp again.The fixed angle removes the guesswork that makes freehand sharpening difficult, so it suits cooks who have never sharpened a knife. It works on most smooth-edged, double-bevel kitchen knives as well as Global’s. It is not intended for serrated knives, ceramic knives or single-bevel Japanese knives such as a yanagi, and a knife with a chipped edge or broken tip needs a whetstone first.Use the fine wheel alone for a quick touch-up, and save the coarse wheel for knives that have gone dull. That removes less steel over the life of the knife.
Sharpener or Rod?A rod maintains an edge that is still in good condition. The sharpener restores one that has gone dull. Between sharpenings, keep the edge aligned with the Global Ceramic Sharpening Rod. Learn More
