Sharpeners
Knives blunt for a variety of reasons and the theories on how best to sharpen blades abound. Our mission is to ensure that the best sharpening systems are applied to the most appropriate blades and suit your kitchen environment.
Maintaining a sharp and useful edge on your knife can be a tricky job. Traditional 'steels' work well only for those that use them everyday or for those whose hands are 'set' to give the right and equal angle across the entire length of the blade, like a butcher or fishmonger. For those of us who are not professionals and only sharpen knives occasionally, the 'steel' can do more damage then repair.
JKC have scoured the length and breadth of Japan, where sharp blades are a way of life, to search and locate the easiest, simplest and most effective ways of sharpening knives. From traditional Carburandum whetstones, ceramic wheels to diamond abrasives, we present to you the definitive collection of sharpeners for all requirements.
The trick of maintaining the evenness of angle across the blade is solved in different ways by the different models - click on any of the individual pictures of the models and find out more.
We don't just sell - we educate. take a look at our sharpening tips.
