Electric knife sharpener Graef CX 110 — 75 W, 230 V, compact countertop design

Graef CX 110 electric knife sharpener is a compact countertop device designed for powered sharpening and honing of household kitchen knives. With a 75 W motor and 230 V AC input, the unit uses diamond-coated grinding wheels and elastic angle guides to restore and refine blade edges. The CX 110 is built with a fixed 15° grinding angle that is particularly suitable for Asian-style knives, allowing for precise, repeatable results on a variety of blade steels and profiles while keeping a small footprint of 105 × 212 × 108 mm for convenient storage on the worktop.

Advantages

The CX 110 combines diamond-coated wheels for both sharpening and honing, providing a consistent abrasive surface that removes material efficiently and finishes edges for immediate cutting performance. The device’s elastic angle guides hold the blade at the correct 15° bevel, improving repeatability and reducing user error compared with freehand sharpening. Its compact countertop design and modest power consumption make it suitable for regular home use without a large workspace requirement.

Suitable for

• Sharpening Asian-style kitchen knives with a 15° edge
• Regular maintenance of household cutlery to restore edge sharpness
• Users who prefer guided, powered sharpening instead of manual stones
• Small kitchens or limited bench space where a compact sharpener is needed

How to use

Place the Graef CX 110 on a stable, flat surface and connect it to a 230 V outlet. Insert the knife blade into the elastic angle guide and draw the blade steadily through the diamond grinding wheels according to the manufacturer’s recommended passes, maintaining light, even pressure. Start with the sharpening stage to reshape the bevel if the edge is dull, then move to the honing stage to refine and polish the edge. Follow any safety instructions from the manufacturer, keep fingers away from the wheels during operation, and allow the unit to stop completely before removing the knife.

Usage recommendations

Use the CX 110 for routine maintenance rather than aggressive material removal; for very damaged or chipped blades, perform fewer, controlled passes and consider professional reprofiling if necessary. Clean the appliance and blades after sharpening and store the sharpener in a dry place to maintain performance and safety.
