Minosharp Plus 3 Ceramic Water Sharpener 550 - Black/Red

Product Information

Please note that during exceptionally busy periods our next day delivery service may not be available. The MinoSharp SH550/BR water sharpener is manufactured in Japan from high quality materials, including the three ceramic wheels contained within. The wheels offer three levels of coarseness, allowing you to get the perfect level of sharpness for your knives. Although it’s designed for use with Global Knives, it will work perfectly with most brands. The Minosharp Plus 3 has 3 sets of sharpeners - fine, medium and coarse. The ceramic wheels are larger and longer lasting, than the wheels on the original minosharp. Due to the fact that the sharpening groove and the ceramic wheel are not parallel, the oblique angle of the ceramic wheel is able to restore the razor sharpness of the knife. I tried out the Minosharp as soon as it was delivered, and I followed the instructions to use the hard grind for 20 times, then the medium, followed by the fine grind. Because my knife is quite damaged, I had to repeat the process two more times until the chip disappeared.

This sharpener changed my life and my (already excellent German) knives. I'm slicing and chopping like a TV chef. Don't hesitate - buy it!A Flexible, All-Round Sharpener – One of the pros I had for the previously reviewed 3-stage Minosharp, was how incredibly versatile it was for a pull through system. The Minosharp Plus retains the same advantage. I’ve reviewed a ton of pull through style sharpeners, and ALL of them fall short to this regard. They all have a single stage, (and therefore a single abrasive/grit) which makes them inept or unable to provide a solution for every sharpening need. For a moment, I want you to consider traditional stones just for the sake of argument at hand. Granted you may be unfamiliar with traditional stones, and even care less to know about them, but the point I wish to make is directly related, so stay with me here! Have you ever seen a chef or professional sharpener use a single stone (with one grit by the way) to achieve that blazing sharp edge? I’ll bet the answer is no. They use different stones with different grits to achieve the desired result. The point I am trying to make here is that a single abrasive/grit is not always sufficient. Having a system that offers more than one stage is great, because it makes it that much more flexible, versatile, and complete. There are 3 different kits, one containing a rough (240 grit) stone, one containing a medium (1000 grit) stone, and one containing a super fine (6000 grit) stone. Each kit contains a stone, a set of guide rails and a plastic holder which doubles as a storage box and a base to elevate the stone above a counter during sharpening. The storage box is ventilated so that the whetstone will dry if it is put into the box while still wet. If ease of use is your primary consideration, one of these handheld sharpeners is the correct sharpening tool for you. With three grooves - coarse, medium and fine - you take the knife through both a few times and a minute later you have a sharp knife again. Water Makes A Big Difference!– Water is what distinguishes this sharpener from all the other pull through’s. And if you think otherwise, you’d be very mistaken. Allow me to explain. Coating the ceramic abrasive with water serves to accomplish two things:

It washes away steel residue– Water cleans both the blade as well as the ceramic abrasive of any steel residue that results from sharpening. Cleaning the abrasive in particular ensures it remains clean at all times, and is not loaded with steel. It is indisputable that the sharpest knives are produced in Japan. The emphasis on sharpness in Japan is directly related to their cuisine and their frequent use of raw fish. It makes sense then that the best tools to sharpen knives are also produced in Japan. It makes the process less aggressive– If you’ve ever seen someone use a ceramic water stone, you may have noticed how smooth and natural it looks. There is no resistance and the edge is slowly worked to perfection. Water plays a huge part in this as it reduces the friction and heat. It makes sharpening feel unforced!
