Product-Dexter Russell Sani-Safe® 12″ Diamond Sharpener with Swivel Handle – (#7623 DDS-12S-PCP)

The Dexter Russell Sani-Safe® 12″ Diamond Sharpener with Swivel (7623 DDS-12S-PCP) is the ideal tool for professional chefs, butchers, and culinary enthusiasts seeking to restore their knives to razor-sharp condition. Unlike honing steels that realign existing edges, this diamond-coated sharpening rod reshapes and revitalizes dull blades by shaving new teeth into the metal—essential when honing is no longer effective.

With a length of 12 inches, this sharpener provides plenty of surface area for long, consistent strokes, enhancing sharpening efficiency. The swivel design allows for easier use at different angles and positions, making it versatile for various blade styles and sizes.

The signature Sani-Safe® handle is crafted from textured, slip-resistant polypropylene, providing a secure grip even in wet conditions. Its impervious seal between blade and handle ensures sanitary performance and earns it NSF certification—trusted in commercial kitchens worldwide.

This sharpener is a vital part of knife maintenance: think of using honing steel like brushing your teeth—done often. Sharpening, however, is like a dentist visit—only needed once or twice a year when the blade truly dulls.
