CHANTRY
KNIFE SHARPENER
The answer to dull knives...
The best way to keep your knives sharp: The CHANTRY KNIFE SHARPENER: foolproof,
so simple to use,
efficient and functional...
The steels can
last for years, depending on how much you use
your Chantry. If
you think your Chantry isn't
working as well as it used to, you may need new steels.
*Sharpening steels will be sent by US Mail or UPS, whichever is less
expensive.
Electrically grinding your cutlery too often will
shorten its lifespan. That's why butchers & professionals never reach for a knife
without also reaching for their "steel". They know that honing their
knives each time they are used will reduce the need for grinding. Less grinding
means a longer life for you knife.
The Chantry Knife Sharpener serves as a mechanical "butcher's
steel", honing both sides of the blade at the same time & at the same angle,
eliminating the biggest problem with a steel- the angle used to hone the edge is difficult
to maintain even by the most seasoned professional.

The
Chantry Story
The Chantry Knife Sharpener was invented by English butchers in
1929. The problem in the butcher shop was that the new employees were unable to use
a traditional steel effectively, thus requiring the knives to be ground more often,
shortening their lifespan. Although the Chantry's internal workings have not changed
since 1929, the outer casing was re-designed by artist Robert Welch in the 1960's.
The Chantry is now in the permanent Design Collection of the New York Museum of Modern
Art.
