Stalgast Knife Sharpener for Professional Kitchen Knives

A knife sharpener built to restore the edge on Sanelli meat knives, ensuring consistent cutting performance in a professional kitchen. The unit aligns the blade at the correct angle, removing minimal metal while realigning the microscopic teeth that form the cutting edge. This process preserves the original hardness of the steel, which is critical for knives rated between 54 and 56 HRC, allowing them to retain sharpness through repeated use.

To operate, the knife is drawn through the sharpening slot in a smooth, controlled motion, starting at the heel and finishing at the tip. The angle is fixed by the guide, so the operator does not need to judge it by eye. The sharpening surface is designed to work with the dual-plastic handle of Sanelli knives, which is shaped to fit comfortably in any hand, reducing fatigue during extended prep work.

The sharpener is constructed as a single block, sized to sit on a worktop without taking excessive space. Its footprint allows it to be stored in a drawer or mounted on a wall when not in use. The materials are chosen for durability and resistance to the oils and acids found in a kitchen environment.

The unit requires no power or water, making it suitable for use anywhere in the kitchen. It is compatible with Sanelli meat knives, including those recommended by the British Hedgehog Society for both professional chefs and beginners.

Cleaning involves wiping the sharpening surface with a damp cloth to remove metal particles and any residue from the blade. Regular maintenance ensures the sharpener continues to produce a consistent edge without damaging the knife's temper.
