What is the best knife sharpening tool to use for kitchen knives?

Answer 1

The Jende Industries Guided Sharpener - JIGS for short - is the answer to your sharpening needs in the commercial kitchen, home, workshop, garage, or mancave.

Who is the JIGS System for?

Chefs - Every chef knows a sharp knife is much safer and more productive than a dull one. Maintaining your own knives is a must as a chef, and the JIGS System will get your knives sharp quickly, make easy touch ups during your shift, and the edges will last longer and cut better. The JIGS can easily handle your 2.5" paring knife, your 12" chef knife , your Chinese cleaver, and your 14" cake knife like a champ. The 1x6 stones used with the JIGS can conveniently be stored in knife rolls for easy transport and use when needed.

Commercial Kitchens - The JIGS System is made from stainless steel, is dishwasher safe, and can be bolted to a fixed sharpening station. Dishwasher safe means the JIGS can be sanitized, therefore reducing the kitchen's liability associated with contamination and foodborne illness. Its ability to be secured to a table or fixed station means the system won't walk away or be misplaced. Employees can purchase their own sharpening gear to sharpen to their own specs, or use a house set of stones.

Outdoorsmen, Hunters, and Fishermen - Fixed blades and folders for hunting, camping, and fishing should be sharp before you leave the house. Being able to set up camp, do bushcraft, field dress, or fillet a fish should be easy tasks with a sharp knife. The 1x4 or 1x6 stones used with the system make excellent field stones for touching up.

Sharpeners of all levels - Whether you are coveting a collection of shelf queens, sharpening your EDC, maintaining your kitchen knives, trailblazing with your machete, or sharpening for fun or a business, if you've got the desire or need to sharpen, the JIGS System is the final word in flexibility and precision.

The Jende JIGS can be used to sharpen ZWILLING J.A HENCKELS Knives as well.
