CINQ Rolling Knife Sharpener

Blowing in from the prairies of Alberta is a totally different kind of knife sharpener. With the CINQ rolling knife sharpener, your knife is held tight by magnets at the proper angle, while you roll the cylindrical sharpener back and forth on your counter along your blade. It's astonishingly easy, logical, effective, and as foolproof as anything can be. It may be the best home knife sharpener yet.

Watch the video below to see how the CINQ rolling knife sharpener works.

The CINQ rolling knife sharpener includes:

• a stainless-steel angle finder
• a magnetic knife holder with 5 sides, one for each angle
• a cylindrical sharpening roller
• 3 diamond disc sharpeners of 400, 1,000 and 2,000 grit
• a helix stainless-steel honing disc.

Start by slipping your knife into the angle finder to establish the knife's angle. Then affix your knife to the magnets on the side on the knife holder that matches that angle. The diamond discs attach to the end of the roller and by rolling back and forth along your blade's edge, take your knife from really dull (400 grit), or everyday dull (1,000 grit), to sharp (2,000 grit). The helix honing finishes the job. It's really simple and gets knives really sharp without damage!

There's also a CINQ ceramic expansion pack that consists of 4,000, 6,000, and 8,000 grit ceramic discs for superior edge refinement, a whetstone-quallity finish and an ultra-polished edge.

If you want to go all the way, CINQ offers a 9.5" double-sided leather knife strop, with one side of textured suede and the other a smooth hide.
