This KitchenAid 2-Stage knife sharpener is essential for everyday food prep, featuring a dual-stage sharpening system designed to help maintain sharp, reliable edges for a wide range of cutting tasks. The first stage uses diamond-coated rods to help restore and realign dull blade edges with precision. The second stage features ceramic rods that refine the edge, creating a smooth, polished finish ideal for slicing, chopping, and dicing. This two-step process helps return blades to near-original sharpness, extending the life of your cutlery and supporting consistent cutting performance over time. Suitable for fine-edge knives only, it is not intended for use with serrated blades or scissors. Designed with a sturdy non-slip rubber base and a soft-grip handle, this handheld knife sharpener stays securely in place during use, providing stable, controlled sharpening whether preparing a quick meal or tackling weekly prep. For long-lasting performance, wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. This item is not dishwasher safe.
