Minosharp Plus 3 Ceramic Water Sharpener 550 - Black/Red

Product Information

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. 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. 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. A larger version of the original minosharp water sharpener. It is suitable for both European and Japanese style knives, so long as they have a straight edge. Not suitable for serrated knives or for knives which are sharpened on one side only.

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.

MinoSharp SH550/BR - PLUS 3 Sharpener Black-Red (SH-550/BR)

If you are not inclined to use a sharpening steel or whetstone - the minosharp knife sharpener will produce excellent results with very little effort. 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.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 had an original two stone mino sharpener for years and had been quite happy with it. However the new three stone really gives you an extra sharp edge. Great product. 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.
