Collection: Global Sharpening

Hospitality Connect lists six Global sharpening products, covering ceramic and diamond sharpening rods, a sharpening steel, and guide rails with a clip for holding a consistent blade angle. They sit under kitchen knives and knife sharpeners and steels.

A ceramic sharpening rod removes very little metal and refines an edge that is still in reasonable condition, so it suits regular upkeep. A diamond rod is more abrasive and cuts faster, which makes it the choice for restoring a blade that has gone dull.

Most commercial kitchens realign knife edges with a steel daily or at the start of each service, then sharpen properly on a rod or stone when the edge stops biting. Frequency depends on how much cutting a section does and what is being cut.

Sharpening guide rails clip onto the spine of a blade and hold it at a consistent angle against the sharpening surface. They help kitchens where several people sharpen knives, because the angle stays the same no matter who is doing the work.

Yes. Hospitality Connect is based in Penrith, New South Wales, and delivers Australia-wide to cafes, restaurants, pubs, clubs, bakeries and institutional kitchens. Trade pricing applies to Global sharpening products alongside the wider knife and smallwares catalogue.
