Lantana Professional 3-Stage Manual Knife Sharpener

Kitchen knives in a typical home kitchen often face a challenging life. They get tossed into dishwashers and shoved into drawers, leading to minor dings and micro-corrosion on the blades. While pull-through sharpeners are fast and easy to use, they can catch on these small notches, potentially causing further damage. On the other hand, methods like whetstones and sharpening rods are gentler and can address minor blade issues, but they require a much higher level of skill and patience than most busy home chefs possess, with a single knife sharpening taking 30 minutes or more.

The Smart Sharp has been designed to combine the best features of these sharpening methods into a single device. It offers the speed and ease of use of a traditional pull-through sharpener, while also incorporating aspects of whetstone sharpening to protect your knives and make the process gentler and more effective. The three-stage process of the Smart Sharp gives you the best of both worlds, providing highly effective sharpening that can quickly restore your knives to their best condition.

The first stage of the Smart Sharp "roughens" the knife edge, preparing the surface for sharpening and smoothing any nicks and imperfections that could cause the blade to catch during the sharpening process. The second stage uses precision-angled tungsten carbide plates to create the perfect "V" edge, even on the bluntest of knives. The final stage removes any burrs and gently polishes the blade edges for a super-sharp finish.

The Smart Sharp is designed for ease of use, with simple instructions and a helpful quick-start video guide. It also features an ergonomic comfort handle suitable for both right and left-handed users, as well as a heavy-duty, non-slip rubber base for maximum stability and safety during use. The sharpener comes in three fantastic colors – classic black, deep red, and vibrant green – to complement the aesthetics of your kitchen.

While the Smart Sharp is suitable for a wide range of Western-style kitchen knives, including straight-edge steel, hardened steel, and wide-serrated knives, it is not recommended for use on ceramic knives, scissors, micro-serrated knives, Japanese-style knives, or knives previously sharpened with whetstones or steels. Additionally, the Smart Sharp is not suitable for correcting more serious blade damage, such as visible notches or dents.

In summary, the Smart Sharp Knife Sharpener offers a simple, effective, and versatile solution for keeping your kitchen knives in top condition, combining the best features of various sharpening methods into a single, user-friendly device.
