  • Our take on the Universal Hand-Held Knife Sharpener

    The WÜSTHOF Universal is a hand-held pull-through sharpener with a switch for standard Western blades or Asian-style blades. Each setting has two stages: a carbide slot that reshapes the edge angle and a ceramic slot that hones it. That makes it a compact one-tool option for a mixed knife drawer, though pull-through sharpeners remove more steel than whetstones and can leave a rougher edge than a honed blade. It suits cooks who want quick touch-ups without learning freehand sharpening.

    About the Universal Hand-Held Knife Sharpener

    The WÜSTHOF Universal Hand-Held Knife Sharpener can be adjusted to sharpen either standard or Asian-style blades. Each setting has two sharpening stages, for a total of four stages.

    Start with the carbide sharpening slot. It smooths irregularities and refines the angle of the blade edge. Then draw the knife through the ceramic sharpening slot to finish honing the blade to a refined, razor-sharp edge.

    The sharpener switches easily between standard and Asian blades.

    Questions and answers

    How does the two-stage sharpening work?
    Draw the knife through the carbide slot first to reset the edge angle, then through the ceramic slot to hone it. Each blade-type setting has both slots.
    Will it work on my Asian-style knives?
    Yes. Switch the selector to the Asian setting, which sets a narrower edge angle for santokus and similar blades. Standard Western knives use the other setting.
    Can I use it on serrated knives?
    No. Pull-through slots are for plain edges. Serrated bread knives need a rod or a serrated-specific tool.
    Does it replace a whetstone?
    It is faster and easier, but carbide removes more steel and leaves a coarser edge. For restoring a dull knife or a polished edge, a whetstone does more.
    How often should I sharpen?
    Use the ceramic slot for regular honing and the carbide slot only when the edge is genuinely dull. Overusing carbide wears the blade down.
    Where is the Universal Hand-Held Knife Sharpener cheapest?
    At WÜSTHOF, for $45.00, as of our latest check.
    What do buyers say about the Universal Hand-Held Knife Sharpener?
    Rated 4.5 out of 5 from 4 ratings.
