Safe Dual-Function Electric Sharpener

This electric sharpener occupies minimal counter space (12.5 x 8.2 x 14.3 cm) and weighs 0.95 kg. Its ABS housing contains two independent sharpening modules — one for knives, one for scissors — each fitted with diamond-coated wheels. A secure-hinge safety cover locks closed during operation to retain all metal shavings. Connects to UK 230V supply via 1.2 m cord with BS 1363 plug. Knife sharpening uses a rigid V-groove guide set to ~20° per side; scissor sharpening employs a self-centring slot with compliant arms that maintain blade parallelism and protect pivot screws. Each cycle completes in ~5 seconds and works effectively on common UK kitchen blades made from stainless or high-carbon steel. Designed for real UK usage: sharpen a bread knife before Sunday breakfast, revive herb scissors mid-recipe, or maintain craft shears between school art projects — all in seconds, with no mess, no guesswork, and no risk to fingers or surfaces.
