Rota Knife Sharpener

$ 19.99

Sharpen up in the kitchen with this stylish rotating knife sharpener. This cleverly designed gadget folds away for compact storage. The unique, rotating design of Rota^™ provides two key features. First, when opened out, it creates a safe, ergonomic handle to hold when sharpening or honing. Then, when finished, the handle folds neatly away again, creating a compact unit that stores easily in a drawer. It has coarse and fine ceramic sharpening wheels for maintaining kitchen knives with a variety of blade conditions from dull through to damaged edges. Non-slip feet on the base give added stability when sharpening.

1. Coarse wheel - for dull or damaged blades;

2. Fine wheel - to finish blade edge and for regular knife maintenance

• Easy-grip handle and non-slip feet for added stability while sharpening

• Locks closed for compact storage

• Suitable for most types of stainless-steel knives. Not suitable for serrated or ceramic blades.
