FILUX KNIFE AND SCISSOR SHARPENER

Description

The FILUX sharpener sharpens knives and scissors in seconds with no prior experience: it works both sides of the edge at once with double-lip CBN wheels, does not overheat the steel and requires no learning curve. Made in Spain, with metal housing and stainless steel, and CE certification of conformity.

What it is for

It is the only one in the range that also sharpens scissors, solving an everyday problem in fishmongers, bakeries and kitchens, where scissors are used daily and nobody quite knows where to sharpen them. And by working both sides of the bevel simultaneously, it ensures symmetry without depending on the steadiness of the user’s hand.

• Professional kitchens: kitchen knives and scissors always ready.
• Fishmongers: butchering scissors and filleting knives.
• Food shops: edge maintenance without an external workshop.
• Workshops and bakeries: a variety of cutting tools.
• Advanced home use: for those who want a professional result at home.

What CBN wheels are and why they matter

CBN (cubic boron nitride) is an extremely hard abrasive, second only to diamond, but with a specific advantage over it when working steel: it does not react chemically with iron at high temperature, so it cuts the metal cleanly and keeps its geometry for a long time. In a sharpener this translates into two practical things: a consistent finish throughout the life of the wheel and less heat transmitted to the blade.

Frequently asked questions

Does it really sharpen scissors?

Yes, it is designed for knives and scissors, which sets it apart from the rest of the range. Kitchen and fishmonger scissors go blunt quickly and are almost never maintained, precisely because most sharpeners only accept knives.

What does sharpening both sides at once mean?

That both faces of the bevel are worked in the same pass. This saves time and, above all, ensures symmetry: if one side is sharpened first and then the other, the edge can easily end up off-centre and the cut will veer.

Can someone without experience use it?

That is its whole approach: there is no learning curve and the knife is ready in less than a minute.

Does it damage the knife steel?

The manufacturer states that there is no overheating during the process, which is the critical point: excessive heat ruins the temper of the edge and makes the knife bend within a few hours. The CBN wheels help precisely to keep the cut cool.

Is it suitable for a noise-sensitive environment?

It runs quietly and without vibration, something to bear in mind in kitchens open to the public or in bakeries where the machine is close to the workstation. It is a noticeable difference compared with conventional grinding-wheel sharpeners.
