Four reasons to choose the original.

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
Set it up
Place it on a flat surface. Its weight holds it safely in place.
-
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.
Solid stainless steel
A heavy, stable housing in brushed stainless steel. Built for continuous use.
Angle 11–21°
Suits everything from a fine Japanese blade to a rugged chef's knife.
Spare parts
Sharpening elements stay available and are changed in seconds. One device for life.
