Wusthof Asian Edge Knife Sharpener, Red

Wusthof Asian Edge Knife Sharpener, Red Review

Wusthof Asian Edge Knife Sharpener, Red Feature

• 2-stage santoku sharpener with 2 slots labeled for easy use
• Coarse carbide heads set an edge on a dull knife
• Fine ceramic rods hone a sharp edge
• Large, easy-grip handle and non-slip rubber bottom
• Measures 8 by 3 by 1-1/4 inches

The Asian-style santoku knife has a narrower blade angle than most kitchen knives, so a special sharpener is required. This handy two-stage sharpener from Wüsthof uses coarse carbide heads to reset an edge on a dull knife, and fine-tunes one that's already fairly sharp with ceramic rods. Clearly labeled Coarse and Fine, the two slots on the sharpener let you know which to use. Set the knife blade vertically on the notch and apply gentle pressure while pulling the knife through. A large flange-style handle with a rubberized grip, along with a non-slip bottom, allows the sharpener to be held steady during use on a counter or table. Usually a well-cared-for santoku just requires a swipe or two through the Fine slot to keep it in razor-sharp condition. The sharpener measures 8 by 3 by 1-1/4 inches. --Ann Bieri This Wusthof Santoku 2 stage sharpener is especially designed for the Wusthof asian style Santoku knife. The ceramic sharpening rods have one stage for course cutting a new edge and then a fine ceramic to hone the knife to a keen edge. The Santoku knife has a narrower blade angle and this sharpener shapes the edge to 17 degrees. The Santoku sharpener can easily bring those dull knives back to cutting form.

Shun Ken Onion 10-Inch Chef's Knife

Shun Ken Onion 10-Inch Chef's Knife Review

Shun Ken Onion 10-Inch Chef's Knife Feature

• 10-inch Shun chef's knife with ergonomic Ken Onion-designed handle
• Handcrafted in Japan of incredibly sharp, strong VG-10 steel
• Beautiful black Pakkawood handle provides tension-free control
• Damascus-style ripples on blade help release food for clean, swift chopping and slicing
• Wash by hand; lifetime warranty; gift-boxed

This spectacular 10-inch chef's knife combines Shun technology and a lusciously curved black handle by award-winning custom knife designer Ken Onion. Made of a hardwood-resin fusion known as Pakkawood, the handle is designed to be truly ergonomic in order to increase control and reduce fatigue during long stretches of chopping, mincing, and slicing. The Damascus-style ripples on the upturned blade create air pockets that release food quickly, allowing clean, swift use. A bit daunting at first use, the large knife soon feels indispensable. Any chef would be honored to receive this gift-boxed beauty.

Shun knives, made in Japan by KAI (Kershaw Cutlery), are quite possibly the sharpest knives on the market. A Shun edge, formed to an acute 16-degree angle, won't bend or waver due to the hardness of the VG-10 steel core used in its construction. Clad with 32 layers of high-carbon stainless steel (16 on each side), the blade resists rusting and maintain its razor edge for a considerable time. Prized among chefs who value uniformly thin slices, a necessity in Japanese cuisine, Shun knives are covered by a lifetime warranty and should be washed and dried-carefully-by hand, then stored in a wooden block. --Ann Bieri
