SHARPAL Knife Sharpeners are designed to restore knives to professional-grade sharpness quickly and safely, offering both home cooks and professional chefs a reliable tool for maintaining their kitchen knives.
This comprehensive review explores the SHARPAL Knife Sharpener, covering its performance, capacity, user-friendly design, cleaning, safety, durability, and why it’s a must-have kitchen accessory.
Scissors Sharpener Review
The SHARPAL 191H is a compact, three-stage sharpener designed to restore and maintain the edge of both kitchen knives and scissors. This tool combines tungsten carbide, ceramic, and specialized sharpening elements to give a comprehensive sharpening experience. It’s built for versatility, ease of use, and long-term reliability — making it a handy tool for home cooks, professional chefs, and anyone who relies on sharp blades.
What sets this sharpener apart is its smart design: a strong suction base secures it onto a flat surface, allowing safe, one-handed operation. This means you don’t need to hold the sharpener while you sharpen, reducing risk and making it simpler for users of any skill level. The SHARPAL 191H is a consistent favorite for people who want a dependable, affordable sharpening solution.
1. Scissors Sharpener Capacity
Three Sharpening Stages
The 191H features three different sharpening slots, each tailored for a specific purpose:
Coarse Tungsten Carbide Slot: Quickly restores a dull or damaged knife edge.
Fine Ceramic Slot: For honing and polishing, removing burrs, and refining the blade.
Scissors Slot (Tungsten Carbide): Specially designed to restore the edge of scissors.
Because of this structure, the sharpener can handle:
Straight kitchen knives (chef knives, utility knives, paring knives)
Serrated blades (such as bread knives or steak knives)
Scissors and shears
Edge Setting & Honing
With a few strokes in the coarse slot, you can reestablish the bevel of a dull blade. Then, a pass through the ceramic slot refines the edge, giving a sharper, smoother finish. For scissors, the dedicated tungsten carbide slot helps re-profile the blade close to its original geometry.
Compact Use
Thanks to its size (roughly 7 × 6 cm), it doesn’t take up much space. The design is especially useful for smaller kitchens or workspaces where a full sharpening station isn’t practical. Yet despite its small size, its three-stage functionality gives it more capacity than many single-slot sharpeners.
2. User-friendly design and cleaning
Suction-Base Design
One of the most intelligent features is its strong suction base. When placed on a smooth surface, pressing a switch activates the suction, securing the sharpener firmly. This leaves one hand free to manage the blade safely. Because of this, no hand-holding is needed, which reduces risk and increases convenience.
Preset Sharpening Angle
The 191H comes with a fixed, optimal sharpening angle. This removes the guesswork for users — you don’t need to worry about maintaining a consistent angle, which is especially helpful for people who don’t have sharpening experience.
Easy to Use
To sharpen a knife: place the blade in the appropriate slot, apply light pressure, and pull the knife from heel to tip, following the direction of the arrows.
To sharpen scissors: rest the bevel side of the scissor blade against the slot, and draw from pivot to tip.
After use, you can release the suction base with a simple switch, making it easy to store.
Maintenance is simple:
Wipe out residue from the sharpening slots with a dry cloth or brush after use.
Because the abrasives are built into the slots, there’s no separate stone to store or sharpen.
The compact and enclosed design means less mess and easier cleanup compared to loose sharpening stones.
3. Safety Features and Durability
Stable Base: The strong suction ensures the sharpener stays firmly in place, reducing risk of slippage or accidents.
One-Hand Free Operation: Suction eliminates the need to hold the sharpener, minimizing the risk of cutting yourself.
Three Preset Slots: With predefined angles, there’s no need to adjust or guess — reducing user error.
Controlled Sharpening: The design encourages a controlled pull motion rather than aggressive grinding, making it safer for casual users.
High-Quality Materials: The coarse and scissor slots use tungsten carbide, known for its hardness and long-term edge-setting capability. The fine slot uses ceramic, which is ideal for honing and doesn’t wear out quickly.
Compact & Solid Build: The sharpener’s body is built to withstand repeated use without cracking or degrading.
Warranty: The manufacturer offers 3 years of after-sales support, showing confidence in their product’s longevity.
Long-Term Performance: With proper use, this tool can handle regular sharpening needs for years — keeping knives and scissors in great shape.
