Knife Sharpener overview – Sharpening is our expertise

The frequency at which you should use a knife sharpener depends on the condition of your kitchen knives and other cutting instruments. For kitchen knives that are heavily used, such as stainless steel chef knives or scissors, it is advisable to regularly sharpen them at short intervals, just as you would with a sharpening steel.

Additionally, if you haven’t used your knives or other cutting tools for an extended period, it is wise to sharpen them with a suitable knife sharpener before using them again, which, of course, you can purchase online from Tyrolit.

The grit of a knife sharpener, which you can purchase in various models, is categorized into coarse, medium, and fine. A coarse grit is especially suitable for very dull blades, covering knife sharpeners with a grit range from 150 to 800. These are primarily intended for preliminary sharpening, followed by finer work.

A medium grit is ideal for knives and blades that are not completely dull yet. This grit ranges between 800 and 1,000. Knife sharpeners in this category, available for purchase online at Tyrolit, are designed for regular resharpening of your knives and for finishing if you have already pre-sharpened the blades with a coarse grit.

Knife sharpeners with a fine grit are recommended for final sharpening. Typically, the grit is above 2,000, making it a favorite among chefs and professional cooks. Knife sharpeners with a fine grit from Tyrolit, also available online, ensure exceptionally sharp results. These devices can even be used on high-quality Japanese kitchen knives.

Additionally, there are diamond knife sharpeners, diamond grinding discs, strops, and honing rods – these, however, are meant only for the rapid removal of material, such as stainless steel.
