Minosharp Ceramic Water Sharpener:
Recommended for sharpening Global knives, the Minosharp ceramic water sharpener device employs two ceramic wheels -one coarse, the other fine to return a dull knife to working order. For some people, learning the skill of intermediate sharpening with a ceramic or diamond rod is difficult. It is essential that you maintain your knives on a regular basis and it will be easier to maintain them for the long term.
The easiest-to-use device –is a water wheel sharpener called MinoSharp and MinoSharp Plus. These are handheld ceramic sharpeners and no experience or skill is required to use them simply fill the reservoir with water and run your knife backwards and forwards a few times. The revolutionary ceramic wheels ensure the blade is sharpened at the correct angle.
-Replacement wheels are available to purchase when needed.
