Yaxell GOUSHARP Knife Sharpener, Art. 37022

The Yaxell GOUSHARP knife sharpener, Art. 37022, is an accessory for maintaining kitchen knives in the food service operations of educational institutions, healthcare facilities and other organizations that process large volumes of food every day. Its working surface is made of stone — a traditional material for sharpening quality kitchen knives, including Damascus and high-carbon steel blades that require careful handling of the cutting edge.

The sharpener's angle is 12.5°, matching the thin, sharp blade geometry typical of Japanese kitchen knives from the Gou and Super Gou series. Using sharpening equipment with a matching angle helps preserve the blade's factory shape during regular maintenance without altering the balance or edge thickness of the knife.

Features

• Stone working surface.
• 12.5° sharpening angle.
• Purpose — sharpening kitchen knives.

Specifications

Regular knife sharpening is an important part of maintaining a school, kindergarten or hospital kitchen, since a sharp blade ensures even and safe cutting of food. A dull knife requires more force to cut, increasing the risk of the blade slipping and injuring kitchen staff, which is why keeping the edge sharp with suitable sharpening equipment is part of safe workplace organization. The stone surface of the sharpener should be kept clean and dry after each use, avoiding prolonged contact with moisture and harsh cleaning agents, which helps preserve its working properties over the long term. Sharpening should be done with smooth, even strokes, maintaining the set angle of the blade against the sharpener's surface so that metal is removed evenly along the entire length of the cutting edge. This approach helps keep an institutional kitchen's knives effective without premature wear of the blade metal or the need for frequent professional resharpening.
