Lantana Smart Sharp Knife Sharpener - Professional 3 Stage Manual Sharpener for Kitchen Knives

Kitchen knives in a typical home kitchen face a tough life - tossed into dishwashers and shoved into drawers, they often suffer minor dings and micro-corrosion. Traditional pull-through sharpeners, although quick and easy to use, can actually further damage blades by catching on these small notches. At the other end of the spectrum, whetstones and sharpening rods are gentler and can address minor blade damage, but require a level of skill and patience that most busy home chefs lack - properly sharpening a single blunt knife with a whetstone can take 30 minutes or more.

The Smart Sharp has been designed to combine the best features of these sharpening methods into a single, easy-to-use device. Its 3-stage process provides the speed and convenience of a pull-through sharpener, while also incorporating aspects of whetstone sharpening to protect knives and deliver more effective results.

Stage 1 uses coarse diamond-coated rods to 'roughen' the knife edge and smooth out any nicks or imperfections. This prepares the surface for the precision sharpening in Stage 2, where hardened tungsten carbide plates create the perfect 'V' edge, even on the bluntest of knives. The final Stage 3 uses fine ceramic stone rods to remove any burrs and gently polish the blade for a super-sharp finish.

The Smart Sharp is suitable for a wide range of Western-style kitchen knives, including straight-edge steel blades, hardened steel, and wide serrated knives (such as bread knives). However, it is not recommended for use on ceramic knives, scissors, micro-serrated blades, or Japanese-style knives, which have narrower blade angles.

Designed for ease of use, the Smart Sharp features an ergonomic, comfort-grip handle suitable for both left and right-handed users. The heavy-duty, non-slip rubber base provides excellent stability, ensuring safe sharpening on any flat kitchen surface. The sharpener comes in three great colors - classic black, deep red, and vibrant green - to complement any kitchen decor.

The Smart Sharp is incredibly simple to operate, with full instructions and a helpful quick-start video provided. Lantana also offers first-class customer support, with a team of sharpening experts on hand 7 days a week to answer any questions users may have. For busy home chefs looking to quickly and effectively restore the sharp edge of their kitchen knives, the Smart Sharp is a game-changing tool that combines the best of multiple sharpening methods into one convenient, user-friendly device.
