MITSUMOTO SAKARI Knife Sharpeners 3-Stage Manual Knife Sharpener, 14°–24°

If you want to maintain kitchen knives by hand and choose the sharpening angle, this MITSUMOTO SAKARI sharpener offers an adjustable setting from 14° to 24° in a compact countertop format.

Its three V-shaped sharpening grooves provide coarse and fine sharpening options, while a separate slot is designed for scissors. The one-way pull method keeps the routine straightforward: place the blade in the appropriate groove and draw it gently through.

A fixed-angle sharpener suits a single sharpening approach, this model gives you a choice of angle for different knife-sharpening needs. Its anti-slip ABS base helps keep the sharpener steady as you work.

Size & fit

Measuring 27L x 8W x 5H centimetres, the sharpener has a long, narrow shape that can sit on a kitchen worktop or be put away between uses. The ergonomic handle and anti-slip base support controlled handling during sharpening. Set it on a stable surface, hold the handle and pull the blade in one direction through the selected groove rather than pushing it back and forth.

The adjustable knob lets you select an angle within the 14°–24° range. This gives you more choice than a sharpener with one fixed angle when maintaining knives with different sharpening requirements. The dedicated scissors slot also brings a second sharpening task into the same tool.

Why it makes sense

For regular food preparation, a sharp kitchen knife is easier to bring into use than one that needs attention before each task. This manual sharpener gives you coarse and fine sharpening options, so you can choose the suitable groove for the job, then draw the blade through by hand. The adjustable angle adds flexibility, while the non-slip base helps keep the tool in position as you work.

It is also useful if you want a straightforward, hand-operated alternative to a sharpening system with more setup. There is no powered operation to manage: position the sharpener on a stable surface, choose a groove and use a gentle one-way pull. For a household that also needs to sharpen scissors, the separate slot makes the tool more versatile in everyday kitchen care.

Buyers often highlight the easy handling and adjustable angle, and some report good results on kitchen knives and small straight-bladed pocket knives. Feedback on the sharpness achieved is mixed, so the practical appeal is its adjustable, manual approach rather than a promised result for every blade.
