Stalgast Knife Sharpener M 247501

A knife sharpener that restores blade edges by drawing the steel across fixed abrasive wheels eliminates the need for manual honing. The Stalgast Knife Sharpener M uses this principle: the operator pulls the knife through a guided slot, where the wheels remove a controlled amount of metal and re-form the cutting edge. The process is consistent, repeatable and requires no skill in judging angles or pressure.

To use the sharpener, the operator places the unit on a stable worktop near a power socket. The knife is inserted blade-first into the slot, then pulled steadily from heel to tip. The wheels rotate against the steel, grinding a new edge in a single pass. The sequence is repeated for the other side of the blade, ensuring an even bevel. No water or lubricant is needed; the wheels are designed to run dry and clear the swarf automatically.

The unit is constructed in stainless steel with a plastic housing for the motor and controls. The abrasive wheels are mounted on sealed bearings to maintain alignment and reduce vibration. A single switch on the front panel starts and stops the motor; there are no adjustable settings, so the operator cannot alter the sharpening angle or speed.

The compact footprint of 190 mm by 50 mm fits between other worktop appliances or can be stored in a cupboard when not in use. The height of 60 mm allows the operator to hold the knife comfortably without bending. The sharpener is designed for frequent use in a professional kitchen, where knives dull quickly from chopping, slicing and contact with cutting boards.

Cleaning is limited to wiping the exterior with a damp cloth and brushing out any metal particles that collect in the housing. The abrasive wheels are not replaceable; when they wear down, the entire unit is exchanged for a new one. There are no variants or accessories listed for this model.
