Minosharp Plus 3 Ceramic Water Sharpener 550 - Black/Red

Product Information

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. I highly recommend this sharpener because of its ease of use, saving time and it is perfect for lazy people like me. Read more 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. Answer: I would not use this to sharpen the following knives: ceramic, serrated and single sided blades (like sushi blades). I would also refrain from using this to work on any tools (scissors and shears). 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.

A very efficient ceramic roller knife sharpener from Japan. It includes medium and coarse rollers and a water bath system.

If you've got good knives with a 15* set, are debating between a Minosharp3 and an EP, and can afford the EP, the EP is a better sharpener. On the other hand, if the alternative is a Chantry, get the Minosharp3.

Like the MinoSharp, the MinoSharp Plus has two sharpening wheels, one rough and one medium. The are the exact same grits as the wheels in the MinoSharp only larger. Not only do the larger wheels create a longer lasting edge, they are also more powerful than the smaller wheels. This sharpener can return a sharp edge to a dull knife. Minosharp is a brand of Japanese sharpeners owned by the Yoshikin factory who also manufacture Global Knives. Minosharp uses the finest quality of Japanese grit to produce top quality whetstones and pull through sharpeners which are designed to sharpen any brand of knife. If ease of use is your primary consideration, one of these hand held sharpeners is the perfect sharpening tool for you. There are three different models, the MinoSharp, the MinoSharp Plus and the MinoSharp 3. All models can only be used for knives that are equally sharpened on both sides. They cannot be used for serrated knives or knives sharpened on one side like the Bunmei knives. All of the MinoSharps use ceramic wheels for sharpening. 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: The guide rails are sold as a set which includes a small and large guide rail. The small guide rail is suitable for knives with blade lengths less than 6". The large guide rail is suitable for knives larger than 6". The guide rails are lined with plastic to minimize scratching on the knives during their use. Any time you remove one of the guide rails from your knife, rinse and clean it thoroughly to remove any residue from the stone that may remain inside the guide rail. To further insure that no residue remains, it is recommended that you pull a clean towel through the guide rail after rinsing. If you fail to remove all the residue from the guide rail, the residue may scratch the knife the next time the guide rail is used.

MinoSharp - Knives From Japan

My global knife G4 has been with me for 5 years now, and it has some chips damaged by cutting hard bones and having a crappy knife sharpener just doesn't do t he job for me anymore. 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. 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. Please note that during exceptionally busy periods our next day delivery service may not be available.

Three sharpening finishes, coarse, medium and fine, all set at an angle to give face as well as tip sharpening. If you’re looking for a professional water sharpener that’s easy to use but still provides the best results, then the MinoSharp SH550/BR would make an excellent choice. The sharpener really lived up to its expectation, and i'm really loving it! I even used a piece of paper to test the sharpness of it like the demo I saw on youtube. These guide rails are designed to help maintain the correct angle for sharpening knives when sharpening with a whetstone. The angle is between 10 and 15 degrees.

Ceramic Water Sharpeners - Global Knives

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. Knives From Japan is an independent business established in 2016, but we have been sourcing cutlery and kitchen knives from Japan for over 60 years and we know what makes a knife special. Should not be used for Global knives with chamferred blades, which are sharpened on one side only. These knives should always be sharpened on a whetstone.With the hope of sharpening a set of knives, this sharpener did not perform as suggested. Careful following of the instructions did not yield a sharp edge, even after repeated attempts. The sharpener is sturdy, and has very good quality big ceramic stones. The ceramic stones are made in Japan, and the plastic is made in China. I would definitely trust the made in Japan quality, because they never fail me.

Every effort is made to ensure that goods are delivered on time, although delivery times are given without obligation or guarantee due to the reliance on a third party carrier. Delivery of bulky, fragile or heavy items 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.
