Pre-set angle slots hold the rods for you, so every pass stays consistent.

Read our storyThe TurnBox Knife Sharpener uses pre-set slots in a beech base to hold ceramic rods in a V shape, and you draw the knife down the rods.
Fixed-angle sharpening holds the blade at a set angle for you, so you do not need to keep a steady freehand angle like you would on a whetstone.
Sit it flat on the bench, draw each side down the rods a few times, and the edge comes back.
A few passes at the bench helps bring a tired old blade back to a clean edge.
The setup holds the angle for you, so it is hard to get wrong, even if you have never sharpened a thing.
No more handing knives to a bloke at a shop, paying each time and waiting a week. You do it yourself, at home, whenever you like.
A beech base and ceramic rods, designed to earn a lasting spot on your bench, not another plastic gadget headed for the bin.

Fixed-angle sharpening holds the blade at a set angle for you, so you do not need to keep a steady freehand angle like you would on a whetstone. The TurnBox Knife Sharpener uses pre-set slots in a beech base to hold ceramic rods in a V shape, and you draw the knife down the rods. The rods take you from coarser shaping through to finer honing and store inside the base when you are done.
A cheap pull-through tears up your edge, and a whetstone takes real practice and a steady wrist to get right. Our fixed-angle TurnBox holds the ceramic rods at preset 20 and 25 degree bevels, so the angle is set for you. No guessing, no wrecked edges and no skill to learn. You draw the blade down and the tool does the thinking.
The TurnBox holds four ceramic rods locked at preset angles inside a hardwood base, 20 degrees for fillet and pocket knives and 25 degrees for standard kitchen knives. You pick the slot for your knife type and draw the blade straight down, and the base holds the correct angle for you. Because the geometry is fixed by the tool and not your wrist, you cannot guess it wrong and you cannot wreck a good blade.
It handles standard kitchen knives at the 25 degree slot, and fillet or fishing knives and pocket knives at the 20 degree slot. It is compact enough to store in a cutlery drawer or take on a trip. It is built for quick touch-up and maintenance sharpening on everyday blades. It is not made for steels harder than 64 HRC, serrated edges, or fully re-profiling a knife that has lost its edge.
No. Cheap pull-through sharpeners drag your edge across coarse carbide and tear metal off. The TurnBox uses ceramic rods set at a fixed 20 or 25 degree angle, so you draw the blade down at the correct angle every time and take off only what you need. It suits kitchen knives, pocket knives and fillet knives. Only very hard steels above 64 HRC and serrated edges are out of scope.
The strip has real N52 neodymium magnets set behind a wood contact face. Neodymium is the strongest common magnet grade, so it holds a heavy chef's knife or cleaver firmly without slipping. Blades sit against wood rather than bare metal, so the edge and finish are never scraped. Just bring the blade close and the magnet pulls it into place.
