Japanese knife and sharpener - recommendations

[Hellofayearsofar]

I need the best knife sharpener and a small Japanese knife for DH. He has gone through a number of sharpeners but says that nothing does the job!

Proper knife sharpening stones and a knife from Tog Knives.

Not sure what kind of knife you mean (kitchen knife? Pen knife?) but my sister has a Niwake kitchen knife which is amazingly sharp. They do all kinds of knives and tools for kitchen, garden, etc, so might have what you want, even if it's not a kitchen knife, but they are very expensive.

I spelt Niwaki wrong. this is the website.

Also after some male slippers that don't end up stinking!

Whoops. Wrong thread!
Those Tog and Niwaki knives look beautiful

Global knives are amazing - definitely check them out; I love cooking and having the right tools makes life so much easier... they do sharpeners as well, but I use the following with mine, which is very reasonable priced and purports to be the “best in the world” (& works very well for me):

I got this for myself, and it's has bought back to life several knifes, including a cheap Kitchen Devil veg knife.

I have various global knives and this sharpener

I lost my first sharpener like this when I moved house. Tried the other cheaper options mentioned then eventually bought another water sharpener.

@MirandaMarple I ended up
Buying the same sharpener as you and I also got a Global knife. However the Global knife is not very sharp and we are convinced there must be some protective film on it as we were expecting g it to be razor sharp. Not sure whether our knife is faulty?
