Designed by Dick, this Magneto Steel knife sharpener has been shaped for cutting professionals and perfected through intensive practical tests. Ease of use is also the benchmark for the Magneto Steel: a simple pulling movement leads to the optimal cutting edge. In addition, the integrated magnets guide the knife into the sharpening unit with angular precision. The result is a precise cutting edge with an optimal bracket. Another positive side effect is that the abrasive dust sticks to the magnets. Magneto Steel polish with polished sharpening bars is perfect for straightening and smoothing the edge. FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION The stainless steel protective plates guide the knife safely into the sharpening unit and prevent plastic cuts in the meat. At the same time, the protective plates have a polishing effect without damaging the cutting edge of the knife when pulled. The proven design features of this knife sharpener, such as tension springs with no measurable wear and stainless steel sharpening rods, have of course remained unchanged. The mechanics of the unit are firmly closed, making it particularly safe from external influences. The recessed handles on the front ensure optimal handling and a secure grip, even with gloves. The Magneto Steel can be used as a portable device or fixed to the workplace. For this purpose, two mounting holes are provided on the bottom of the device. The two mounting eyes in the area of ​​the upper handle allow the unit to be chained or secured with a padlock to prevent theft.

FAQs
Why is it important to sharpen knives?
A sharp knife is safer and more efficient: it requires less force and delivers precise cuts. A dull blade can slip and increase the risk of accidents.
How often should I sharpen my knives?
It depends on how often you use them and the type of blade. Generally, regular honing with a honing steel is recommended, along with deeper sharpening every few months or when the knife loses effectiveness.
Should I use a honing steel or a sharpener?
A honing steel maintains the edge and prolongs the life of the knife, but it doesn’t actually sharpen. To restore the edge, you need a sharpener (manual, electric, or whetstone). The ideal routine is to use both: the honing steel for daily care, the sharpener for periodic maintenance.
What’s the difference between a smooth, grooved, or ceramic honing steel?
A smooth steel realigns the edge without removing metal. A grooved one has a slightly abrasive action, taking off a small amount of material. A ceramic steel is gentler and suitable even for hard blades like Japanese knives.
How do you correctly use a honing steel?
Hold the steel vertically and draw the blade across both sides at a 15–20° angle using light, steady strokes. Just a few passes are enough to maintain the edge.
Can I sharpen any type of knife?
Almost all types, but be careful with serrated or ceramic blades: they require specific tools or techniques. Always check the manufacturer's guidelines or ask us for advice.
