With more than 200 years of expertise in the field of cutlery, Wusthof is brand known worldwide for its products of exceptional quality. Based in Solingen, Germany; Wusthof uses the latest technology of the industry to manufacture the best knives and kitchen accessories for professional and home cooks.

The Wusthof Ikon 2-stage Knife Sharpener is must-have in your kitchen. It is the perfect accessory for sharpening all your steel kitchen knives. It has two different stages of sharpening for ensuring complete, efficient sharpening results. The first stage is done in the diamond (coarse) slot, and the second stage is done with the ceramic (fine) slot.

When your knife has lost most of its sharpness and cutting performance, you need to start by sharpening it with the diamond rod. This is the coarse stage of this sharpener, thus this is where you can recover knives with dull edges. In this slot, you can even sharpen serrated blades like the ones of bread knives.

Next, you have the ceramic slot, which is where the fine sharpening is done. You can use the ceramic rod with knives that only need a final sharpening and polishing of the blade. Dull and serrated edges should not be sharpened with the ceramic rod.

This knife sharpener is very easy to use thanks to its ergonomic handle which has an appearance similar to the handles of all the Wusthof Classic Ikon knives. It is perfectly suitable for both right and left-handed cooks. In addition, the sharpener has a nonslip base that prevents unwanted movements when you sharpen your knives, thus ensuring a safe sharpening.
