Sharpening systems for kitchen knives: razor-sharp knives forever

The best sharpening systems for sharpening kitchen knives

Kitchen knives are usually longer than pocket knives, so the sharpening system needs to be able to sharpen the entire blade of a kitchen knife without having to take the knife out of the clamp every time. You also have to factor in the flexibility of a kitchen knife. The clamp that holds the blade should ensure that the blade doesn't bend during sharpening.

As mentioned before: sometimes a clamp is too small for a chef's knife, which causes a kitchen knife to bend and means the sharpening angle is no longer correct. Also, a kitchen knife often has a smaller sharpening angle because a kitchen knife has to perform less heavy work than a pocket knife. A sharpening system must be able to sharpen long knives at a small sharpening angle. The sharpening systems on this page show the sharpening systems that are best suited for sharpening kitchen knives!
