Fallkniven C10 Knife Sharpener

£31.95

Fallkniven have introduced a new kind of ceramic steel for sharpening kitchen knives, the C10. They have been testing this sharpener and found that it brings a tremendously good edge, especially on high quality chef’s knives. Another plus is that it has anti-break and shock-absorbing qualities – should you drop it to the floor from a kitchen table, it will most likely not break! The surface hardness is as high as 9 on the Mohs scale, only the diamond reach 10.

Together with the D12 diamond sharpening steel, this is by far the best solution for quality-minded users, professionals or amateurs.

    Ceramic surprise

    Posted by MICHAEL on 17th May 2021

    It does the job quite well but that's about it. The quality of the handle, hanging loop and end cap is pathetic - the cheapest tackiest plastic possible. And this from Fallkniven! Embarrassing.

    Excellent on some knives, fairly ineffective on others

    Posted by Flipper on 6th Sep 2019

    Having had this for several months now and used it on a variety of knives I've decided that its effectiveness depends very much on the knife steel. I have a set of fairly cheap Richardson knives ("Forme") with blades of some unspecified stainless steel. On those knives the C10 works brilliantly, putting a good cutting edge on a knife which is fairly blunt, but not damaged. On the more expensive Due Cigne 12C27 kitchen knives the C10 doesn't seem to do a lot, maybe a slight honing action, but not as effective as a no-name diamond steel I have. I suspect it relates to the hardness of the steel, although the Due Cigne knives have a stated Rockwell rating of 55-57 which isn't particularly hard. Whatever the deciding factor is, you may find that the C10 appears to do little on some of your knives, but on others you may be very impressed.

    Very impressed

    Posted by Alex on 29th Dec 2015

    I'm really impressed with this. I bought this because I'm getting tired of sharpening the kitchen knives with Japanese water stones, it just seems way over the top, unnecessary and time consuming. I was concerned from other reviews of Fallkniven sharpening rods that this would be too aggressive. As I won't be the only one using it, I didn't want an overly abrasive rod to ruin the set bevel on our knives. As it happens I'm blown away with the results! You still need something rougher if the knife is properly blunt, but if it's just dull, then with care, a few passes on this will have a kitchen knife shaving with not too much trouble, just need practice getting the angle right. I have never been able to achieve this level of sharpness so easily or quickly any other way. Highly recommended!
