Product Description
Henckels Twin Sharp Duo knife sharpener is suitable for all knives with a fine edge, with the exception of coated knives. The stainless-steel sharpener comprises two modules, which are marked on the sharpener. The first module features steel wheels for coarse sharpening and presharpening, and the second module uses ceramic wheels for fine sharpening and smoothing. This sharpener works well for both right- and left-handed people, features rubber feet so it won’t skid on the countertop, and measures approximately 8 inches across and 3 inches tall, so you can store it in a drawer or display it in a small space. To use, place the knife sharpener on a flat surface, pressing down slightly with one hand. Draw the knife blade with a little pressure towards yourself, repeating up to five times for the dullest blades. For very blunt knives, use the first module and then the second. Knives with a bit of bluntness may require only the first module to bring back the original sharpness. Check the results by cutting into a sheet of paper.
Suitable for all quality knives with non-coated blades, this sharpener features two slits (one with steel wheels for coarse and pre-sharpening; another with ceramic wheels for fine sharpening and smoothing). Made for right- or left-handed use, it’s safe and stable with its non-skid feet.

This was a gift for my wife who is going to Culinary School and uses Henckel Four Star knives. The two step sharpener works great and is very easy to use. A few strokes in slot 1, then about the same amount of strokes in slot II and the knife is new sharp again. The body of the sharpener is easy to grasp and really feels secure on the table with its rubber feet holding it steady as you run the knife in each of the slots. This sharpener not only works great but also looks great with its stainless steel body and frame.
Modern functional design, good ergonomics, works perfectly with Zwilling J.A. Henckels knifes.
Was surprised – it’s not so effective with Wusthof knives (if you have them), probably because of the difference in the edge angle and fixed position of sharpening rods.
Nevertheless, it’s very effective with Zwilling J.A. Henckels knifes. Just keep the knife a little inclined backward – you’ll feel the right angle by the resistance of abrasive rods. And don’t expect the one move action – it needs the higher pressure on the knife, which can damage the edge. 3-4 moves at light pressure by the steady hand and job is done. Don’t forget to use the honing rod.
