Dellinger Ceramic Round Sharpening Stone, 255 mm

Product detailed description

Ceramic round whetstone 255 mm - gentle care for your blade

The DELLINGER professional ceramic sharpener is the ideal tool for maintaining a perfectly sharp blade every day. In contrast to conventional steel whetstones, it gently aligns and smooths the micro-serrations of the blade without unnecessarily removing material. It is ideal for knives made from harder steels and is also great for Japanese knives. The ceramic sharpener is an indispensable tool for anyone who likes sharp knives and precise work in the kitchen.

Ceramic is harder than steel, so ceramic whetstones can achieve a smoother and finer result. In addition, they are less susceptible to wear than steel whetstones. Because ceramic is harder than most steels used for knives, it can better remove microscopic nicks and bumps, giving you a sharper blade. Although ceramic sharpeners are hard, they are also quite fragile. Drops or rough handling can easily break them, so we recommend caution when handling.

The handle of the Dellinger professional sharpening steel is ergonomic, lightweight, hygienic, and comfortable for long-term use. The handle is made of injection-molded polypropylene (PP) combined with TPE, which is heat-resistant up to 120 °C and ensures a durable and stable connection with the ceramic part. The guard (the lower part of the handle) is additionally equipped with a diamond-coated surface, which allows for coarser sharpening and quick restoration of the edge in the case of a more dulled knife.

Use

Place the tip of the sharpening steel on a firm, grease-free surface. Press down firmly to prevent it from slipping during use. Using a light, free-hand motion (without applying pressure), repeatedly run the bevel of the knife blade across the surface of the sharpening steel at an angle of approximately 20 degrees. Sharpen the knife from the heel to the tip, repeating 5–6 times, then flip the knife over to the other side until the blade is sufficiently sharp.

Maintenance and cleaning

Do not wash in the dishwasher. If the abrasive of the whetstone is contaminated with metal particles, remove it with a sponge under running water. Baking soda on a sponge can be used (detergent is not recommended). After washing, dry the blade thoroughly. Keep the sharpener and sharpened knives out of the reach of children - this will prevent unnecessary accidents.
