Home Knife Sharpening
When choosing a home knife sharpener, it’s important to consider the types of knives you own and how comfortable you are with different sharpening methods. Manual sharpeners offer hands-on control and are easy to store, making them a great fit for smaller kitchens or those just starting out. Electric models, on the other hand, provide quick, consistent results with minimal effort, ideal for busy households or anyone who values convenience. Some sharpeners are specifically crafted to handle the unique angles of Asian or European-style blades, while others are versatile enough to accommodate serrated knives and even scissors. Gifting a home knife sharpener is a thoughtful gesture for newlyweds, college graduates setting up their first kitchen, or anyone passionate about cooking—especially as we enter wedding and graduation season. And if you’re not sure where to begin, Sur La Table’s in-store experts can guide you through the selection process, whether you’re looking for something for your own kitchen or need advice on a gift.

FAQ List
The frequency of knife sharpening depends on how often you use your knives and the type of blades you have. As a general rule, it's recommended to sharpen your knives every 2-3 months for regular home use. However, if you frequently use your knives for heavy-duty tasks or notice a decrease in performance, it may be necessary to sharpen them more often.
Most of our home knife sharpening products are designed to sharpen straight-edged knives. While some tools may have a serrated blade sharpening option, it's important to check the product specifications or instructions to ensure compatibility. For serrated knives, it's often best to seek professional sharpening services or use specialized sharpeners specifically designed for serrated blades.
Not all home knife sharpening products are suitable for ceramic knives. Ceramic blades are extremely hard and require specialized sharpening tools that are specifically designed for ceramic materials. It's important to read the product descriptions or consult with our customer service team to find the right sharpener for your ceramic knives.
While some home knife sharpening products may offer additional functionality for sharpening scissors or other tools, it's important to check the product specifications or instructions to ensure compatibility. Keep in mind that different tools may require different sharpening techniques and accessories, so it's always best to use the appropriate sharpening tools for each specific item.
Determining the sharpness of a knife can be subjective, but there are a few indicators to look out for. A sharp knife should easily slice through food with minimal effort, and the blade should glide smoothly without tearing or crushing the ingredients. You can also perform a simple paper test by gently slicing through a piece of paper. If the knife cuts through the paper smoothly and cleanly, it's likely sharp enough for most tasks.
