Why We Love It: A Former Chef's View

Arima Homewares was founded by a former chef whose experience spans fine-dining, steakhouse, bakery and catering kitchens, including cooking for royalty and internationally renowned artists. She and her husband built Arima around one idea: professional kitchen experience, translated into honest guidance for home cooks.

“A pull-through sharpener is about repeatability. Use light, even strokes and stop once the edge responds; extra pressure rarely improves the result. For this configuration, I would prioritise control, fit and the task it is genuinely designed to perform.”

Arima Homewares is an Australian family-owned business operating from its Sydney warehouse since 2018 and an authorised Wüsthof stockist. Learn more about Arima Homewares.
