A Dull Knife Is a Dangerous Knife
A sharp knife requires less force, slips less, and gives you more control. Keeping your knives sharp isn't just about performance — it's about safety. At Tarzian West for Housewares, Brooklyn's neighborhood kitchen store for over 50 years, our knife sharpener selection covers the tools to maintain an edge at every level of skill and commitment.
Handheld Sharpeners — The Wüsthof Handheld Knife Sharpener and Wüsthof Universal Hand-Held Sharpenerfor pull-through sharpening that restores a working edge in seconds — the right tool for cooks who want to maintain their knives without learning to use a whetstone. Wüsthof's sharpeners are calibrated to the 14° angle used in their European blades.
Honing Steels — The Traditional Honing Steel for regular edge maintenance between sharpenings. A honing steel doesn't remove metal — it realigns the microscopic edge of the blade, restoring sharpness to a knife that has gone slightly out of true from everyday use. Use it before every cooking session for best results.
Whetstones — The Sharpener Stone 400/1000 Grit for the most precise and effective knife sharpening available — a dual-grit whetstone that removes metal on the coarse side (400 grit) to restore a damaged or very dull edge, then refines it on the fine side (1000 grit) for a sharp, working edge. Requires technique to use well, but produces results no pull-through sharpener can match.
Novelty — The Rose Knife Sharpener for a compact, attractive pull-through sharpener with a decorative form.
Safety — The Mercer Cut Resistant Glove and Cutlery-Pro Mesh Level-9 Safety Cut-Resistant Kitchen Glove for protecting your hands during sharpening and high-speed prep.
