MinoSharp

220/BR

Black/Red

The Minosharp SH220 was designed in Japan for the specific purpose of sharpening Global knives. The twin sharpening wheels are made from the same material as a traditional whetstones and the angled, V shaped groves in the wheels mimic the action of a whetstone when a blunt knife is drawn across them. To get the best performance from your Minosharp sharpener you should first wet the wheels with tap water. The head of the sharpener will hold a small volume of water to continually wet the wheels. The white wheel is made of a coarse material and should be used to reshape the edge of a very blunt knife while the pink wheel is much smoother and will apply a fine cutting edge to your Global knife. Simply insert your knife into either slot one or two and draw it forth and back six to eight times to sharpen your knife. Heavy downwards pressure isn't required; the push pull motion of the knife across the wheel does all the work and will bring your blunt Global knives back to life very quickly and easily. Replacement wheels are available should yours eventually become worn or broken.
