Place it, three to five pulls, back to work. The device sets the angle, so everyone on the team sharpens for themselves, with no training. Bread and tomato knives too.

At the station

Blunt knives cost time. Every day, at every station.

  1. 01Pace

    Every cut takes longer.

    More pressure, more strokes. At peak service those are exactly the seconds you don't have.

  2. 02The cut

    Crushed instead of cut.

    Frayed fillets, crushed tomatoes, untidy portions. The guest sees it on the plate.

  3. 03Sharpening service

    The good knives are out of the house.

    Sending knives out for sharpening costs money per knife and means waiting. And not everyone on the team can handle a stone or a steel.

The solution

Sharpening becomes a single move. For everyone on the team.

How it works.

  • No training needed.

    You don't set an angle. The device sets it, so nobody has to hold it or practise.

  • Three to five pulls.

    With light pressure. Sharpening and honing in one pass, with no heat build-up and no scratches.

  • Serrated blades too.

    Bread and tomato knives in the same device as the chef's knife.

  • 11 to 21°.

    The device covers 11 to 21°, from European to Japanese blades.

The quick maths

What does your sharpening service cost?

One number is enough. We calculate with openly stated guide values and store nothing.

1 to 100 knives

  • × €10 per knife and sharpening (guide value)
  • × 6 sharpenings per year, every 8 weeks

Sharpening service per year

– €

VG2 Professional, one-off€179

Guide values: € 10 per knife and sharpening (average of Austrian sharpening services, € 7–16.50, as of September 2026) and one re-sharpening every 8 weeks. Postage, collection and working time not included. For chipped tips or nicks a sharpening service still makes sense, just no longer every 8 weeks.

Sources for the benchmark figures

Price per sharpening for a 20 cm chef's knife, surveyed on 24 September 2026: Birtha Innsbruck € 10 · Messer & Schleif Manufaktur Tirol € 7–9 (serrated +€ 3) · Messerbrief € 9.50–16.50 plus € 15 postage · Messerdienst Wien € 130 per hour for 8–16 knives, i.e. about € 8–16 per knife.

Interval: specialist dealers recommend re-sharpening every 6–8 weeks with daily use in foodservice, and every 2–4 weeks with intensive use (including guides from gardemanger.at and messers-schneide.de). We calculate conservatively with every 8 weeks.

The devices

Two devices. Every station. Mobile or firmly mounted.

Both sharpen straight blades, serrated edges and micro-serrations. Both have replaceable sharpening elements.

Questions from the field

Quick answers.

Call Tobias: +43 660 1150081, Mon–Fri 9 am–4 pm

Does sharpening harm the blade?

No, as long as you pull with light pressure: three to five strokes, and the device holds the angle. That removes almost no material, with no heat build-up and no scratches. More pressure isn't needed. And if it doesn't convince you: 14-day returns.

Isn't this just a pull-through sharpener?

Yes, you pull the blade through. The difference: the patented original sharpens and hones in one pass, straight blades as well as serrated and micro-serrated edges. The device sets the angle, with no heat build-up and no scratches. Try it for 14 days on your own knives.

Do I have to train my staff?

No. You don't set an angle, the device does. Place the knife, three to five pulls with light pressure, done. Nobody needs prior knowledge for that.

Does it handle bread, tomato and boning knives too?

Yes. Straight blades, serrated edges and micro-serrations all in the same device. You set no angle. The device sets it and covers 11 to 21°, from European to Japanese blades.

What if the sharpening elements wear down?

You change them yourself, in seconds. Spare parts stay available, including as a spare part set. The device comes with a 2-year warranty.

VG2 Professional or Crown?

The VG2 Professional stands free and moves from station to station. The Crown mounts on a wall or table, or sticks on with its suction cup. Then you sharpen one-handed.

Can I order several devices for my business?

Yes. Order directly here in the shop or write to office@vulkanus.com telling us which devices and spare parts you need. Vulkanus is also available from specialist dealers and distributors.
