Multi-angle knife sharpener: how to extend the life of your knives
With the arrival of autumn, the kitchen once again becomes the place where everything happens: we prepare, we take care, and we share. Arcos, a Spanish brand with more than 290 years of history, presents the Multi-Angle Knife Sharpener, designed for those who enjoy caring for their tools as much as they enjoy cooking.
Why does the angle matter (and the 20° “silk edge”)
The angle of the edge determines whether you prioritize sharpness, balance, or durability. This model features four guided positions — 20°, 25°, 30°, and 35° — so you don’t have to improvise. For many users, the key innovation is the 20° setting: perfect for the “silk edge,” which delivers fine, clean cuts with less effort.
How does it work (simple and repeatable)
Double-stage system:
- COARSE (tungsten carbide) restores the edge when the blade has lost its bite.
- FINE (ceramic) polishes and stabilizes, extending the sharpness.
The non-slip silicone base adds stability and the adjustment wheel sets the angle. A fast, efficient, and safe design made for everyday use.
Step by step (your mini-routine)
- Select the angle with the wheel.
- Restore: 5–8 light strokes on COARSE (5 if only slightly dull; more if the blade is heavily worn).
- Polish: 3–5 strokes on FINE for a uniform, long-lasting edge.
Remove the burr and clean the blade. Done! - Tip: Keep the blade vertical and centered in the slot; the guide already sets the angle.
Safety and care
- Stable surface; the silicone base reduces slippage.
- Light pressure and a steady pace: let the abrasive do the work.
- Store the knife protected (block, sheath, or bag) to avoid dulling the edge in the drawer.
