Why Vulkanus
Four reasons to choose the original.
-
01
Patented
The only device of its kind. “Nothing beats the original.”
-

93 HRC
Sharpening elements harder than any blade, for a clean cut.
-
03
11–21°
A universal sharpening angle, fine Japanese knives included.
-
04
Since 1985
The original since 1985. Four decades of experience with a single idea.
The problem
A blunt knife is more dangerous than a sharp one.
- It slips, which causes the most common kitchen injuries.
- It crushes instead of cutting, destroying fibres and flavour.
- Re-sharpening is complicated: holding the angle, practising, honing steels and stones.
- Serrated blades are next to impossible to sharpen at home.
Vulkanus solves it all at once:
- Three to five pulls · razor-sharp. No practice required.
- Sharpens straight and serrated blades in the same device.
- No heat build-up, no scratches. The blade stays intact.

Tobias · Sales Manager Vulkanus
The process
Razor-sharp in three steps.
-
01
Unfold it
Unfold it and take it in your hand. No setting up, no accessories needed.
-
02
Pull it through
Pull the blade through the slot three to five times with light pressure. The device holds the angle, not you.
-
03
Cutting
Do the paper test and get back to cooking. Serrated bread knives come out sharp too.
You need neither whetstones nor practice. The device sets the right angle for you.
In detail
What makes the difference.
In seconds
No angle to hold, no rolling, no practice. Three to five pulls will do.
Gentle on blades
No heat build-up, no scratches on the blade. Kind to the material instead of grinding it away.
Pocket size · 80 g
Folds down to 19 mm, 80 grams light. Fits in any pocket and is ready in an instant.
For the trail
Made for hunting, fishing, camping and the outdoors. The sharpener comes along instead of staying in the drawer.
Patented original
The patented original. Quality since 1985.
