After you buy

It ships with tracking. Most orders arrive 5 to 9 days after you order; a few take up to 2 weeks. We email you the tracking number when it ships.

Start in three steps. Pick the 15° or 20° end, lean the blade on it and roll the coarse disc along the edge, then refine it with the fine disc. Our How to use guide, on this site and as a PDF, walks you through it.

Size and materials

Roller: wood, with a black rubber ring near each end and two diamond discs: a coarse disc to sharpen and a fine disc to refine. The maker labels them 400 and 1000 grit.

Angle block: two sloped ends, 15° and 20°.

Made of: wood, metal and rubber. Natural wood, so the tone varies a little.

In its box: about 8 × 4 × 4 inches and 11 ounces, as the maker lists it.

How it works

Real footage. Same sharpener style.
  1. Lean

    Lean the flat of the blade against the block's sloped end, 15° or 20°.

  2. Roll

    Roll the coarse disc along the edge. Then do the other side.

  3. Refine

    Do both sides again with the fine disc.

The result

After the roll: tomato slices this thin.

Real footage. Same sharpener style.

“Sharpens very well. It was quick and easy. Paper test was passed, did the fine cut on a tomato and it was cut super finely.”

Sharpen the knife you already like.

Which end, which knife?

15° END 20° END

When in doubt, use the 20° end.

Many German-style and American knives are near 20°. Many Japanese-style knives are near 15°. Makers differ, so if yours gives a number, use that.

Customer photo review of Rolling Knife Sharpener

great design and intuitive usage. glad to purchase this - better than other two expensive designs I bought previously.⁹

Rolling Knife Sharpener

really works.... my old globals with lots of damages made them as new within a couple of minutes... amazing product

Rolling Knife Sharpener

I've sharpened my Japanese and German kitchen knives. This is a great sharpener. I decided on 400 and 1000 grit diamonds. I'll probably get a finer grit for polished finishes, but it's not needed.

Rolling Knife Sharpener

I bought a good knife, it was a good purchase. But this sharpener was an even better purchase; it arrived yesterday and has already saved a couple of knives that I thought were lost. Probably the best cost-benefit investment in a long time.

High-quality product, I haven't tested it yet, but I believe it will help me a lot.

Customer photo review of Rolling Knife Sharpener

It's useless, this doesn't sharpen anything at all, you can spend 30 minutes and still not sharpen a knife. It's not worth it.

Rolling Knife Sharpener

The sharpener is great, now the knife is as smooth as butter :)

Rolling Knife Sharpener

Arrived quickly. Packaged very well. The quality of the sharpener itself is very good. Tried sharpening my knives. Liked it. The only question is how long the diamond wheels will last. Well, we'll see.

Rolling Knife Sharpener

Magnet is too weak and the angled block is not big enough. The ends of the knife will lever off the angled block during use

Rolling Knife Sharpener

Good sharpener. It is intuitive to use and is effective. Sturdy also. What more can you ask for.

Rolling Knife Sharpener

Definitely buy a pack with more than heels because 400 and 1000 can't really fix an old beat up blade. But it does work pretty good for what the price is.

Rolling Knife Sharpener

it actually works!! which was a relief. my taller knives do not get sharpened though so I need to elevate the surface to run the sharpener along

Rolling Knife Sharpener

The sharpener itself is good and elegant. The main drawback is that it only sharpens blades of a specific width. You won't be able to sharpen small knives or machetes.

Rolling Knife Sharpener

Works very well, my knives are very sharp again. Very happy with it

Rolling Knife Sharpener

This sharpener seems pretty good. I can't wait to put a good edge on a couple of knives with it.

Rolling Knife Sharpener

item was missing 1 of the sharpener plates was supposed to come with 2 would give 5 stars if it was complete not a happy buyer

Questions

Which one should I get?

The Strickle Set has everything you need to sharpen your kitchen knives. The Gift 2-pack is two Sets, for a gift or a second kitchen.

Which knives does it work on?

Your everyday kitchen knives: chef's, santoku, utility and carving. Not serrated edges, like bread knives, and not ceramic blades.

Will it mark my knife?

It can. Keep the flat of the blade against the block's sloped end, so only the edge meets the disc. The roller's rubber rings can leave black marks; wipe the blade after.

How long does sharpening take?

It depends on the knife. A very dull edge takes longer the first time, and we'd rather say so now. Hold the edge up to the light now and then: a bright line along it is a spot that still needs the coarse disc.

When will it arrive?

Most orders arrive 5 to 9 days after you order. A few take up to 2 weeks. When yours ships, we email you a tracking number.

What if it isn't right?

Email hello@stricklekitchen.com within 60 days of delivery for a full refund. It's fine if you have used it. Nothing to send back, and no restocking fee.

Broken, wrong or missing a part? Email us a photo within 60 days of delivery. We send a replacement or refund you in full, whichever you prefer.

Is it a good gift?

It suits a cook who gave up on a whetstone or a pull-through. We don't gift-wrap. A 2-pack may come in two boxes on different days. If it isn't right for them, they can email us within 60 days of delivery with the order number, or your name and email. The refund goes back to the way you paid.

How do I know when I'm done?

Hold the edge up to the light. A dull spot shows as a bright glint along the edge. Roll that part again on the coarse disc, both sides, then refine with the fine disc.
