19 May 2008

Kyoto/ Neuss – The Japanese technology corporation Kyocera, which specializes in fine ceramic products, is expanding its portfolio of ceramic kitchen products to include a sharpener for steel knives. A ceramic grinding wheel forms the centrepiece of this product that enables users to sharpen their steel blades with virtually no effort at all.

The decisive feature of a kitchen knife is the sharpness of its blade. Using the ceramic sharpener from Kyocera, now amateur cooks can also make sure that their steel knives remain in prime condition. The application is straightforward to use: with a simple to and fro movement, the sharpener takes care of coarse and fine grinding in one operation without any water.
Thanks to the transparent cover on the grinder, users have a clear view of the blade during the grinding operation, which helps them to obtain optimum results. Cleaning afterwards is simply carried out under running water.

The knife sharpener with the ceramic insert has been specially developed for and is exclusively intended for use with steel blades. It has been registered as a patent by Kyocera and is immediately available from well-stocked retailers as well as from the online shop at www.kyocera.de. It costs €16.95 (RRP) and comes in a choice of red or black.
