Accusharp 052C Asian-Style Sharpener Fine Diamond/Ceramic Red

The Accusharp 052C Asian-Style Sharpener is a pull-through knife sharpener purpose-built for the thinner edges found on Asian-style blades, including Santoku knives and other 15-degree edge geometries that a standard Western-angle sharpener can under- or over-bevel. Accusharp designed this model as a commercial-grade two-stage tool that pairs crossed diamond-coated rods for fast material removal and edge re-establishment with fine ceramic rods that hone and finish the blade to a clean, working-sharp apex.

Operation is straightforward: a few light, alternating pulls through the diamond rods reset the 15-degree edge, followed by a few passes through the fine ceramic rods to refine the scratch pattern and polish the bevel. The crossed-rod geometry naturally holds the blade at the correct angle, so consistent results do not require a steady hand or a fixture. The compact 8.75" form factor fits easily in a kitchen drawer and travels well in a cooking kit.

Whether maintaining a daily-use Santoku or any other Asian-inspired kitchen blade, the 052C provides a fast, repeatable way to bring a dull edge back to a clean, hair-popping sharpness without the learning curve of a whetstone. Finished in a high-visibility Red. New from Accusharp.
