Cleaning & Care
DO NOT place knives in dishwasher.
Dishwashing your knives can decrease the
quality of the knife, damage the blade edge,
and reduce the stainless steel integrity. The
Shears come apart for easy hand washing.
Dry knives thoroughly before
storing to prevent watermarks
and spotting. DO NOT touch
sharp edge of knife.
Repeat sharpening steps for
each clean knife every 2 weeks.
Wipe knife block to clean.

3. While holding the knife in place, slide lever all the way up and down 10
times. A slight click will be heard when the lever travels all the way to the
bottom of the block.
NOTE: Lever must travel full length of block to sharpen,
regardless of knife size, as shown here. The upstroke positions the
stone sharpening wheel and the downstroke sharpens the knife.
Knives arrive sharp. Do not sharpen immediately. To maintain optimal
sharpness, follow the sharpening steps below at least every 2 weeks.
SHARPENING STEPS
1. Slide lever to bottom of knife block.

Sharpener Tips & Tricks
Place your left hand
lightly on the inserted knife
handle while sharpening.
Before inserting knife for sharpening,
slide sharpener lever to the bottom of
the knife block. This will help prevent
damaging the knife.
Remove all knives before moving
the block. The four suction cups
on the bottom of the block add
sturdiness while sharpening.
Frequent sharpening will not damage knives.

your sharpener and knives.

MOVING THE KNIFE BLOCK
Remove all knives before moving the block. Your block has four suction cups on the
bottom to stabilize the block while you sharpen your knives. To move your block
towards you, gently lift one side of the block and then the other. Place gently back
on the counter and push down to activate suction cups. If suction cups are not
sticking, clean the counter and the suction cups to remove debris.
CLEANING THE STONE SHARPENING WHEEL
The stone sharpening wheel collects metal shavings over time as you use your
sharpener. If you sharpen your knives every 2 weeks (recommended), it is
recommended to clean the wheel every 6 months. Follow the steps in the section
below to remove the wheel. Rinse the wheel under running water and use a soft
bristle brush to remove any metal shavings. Towel dry the wheel immediately before
reassembling inside the sharpener.
REPLACING THE STONE SHARPENING WHEEL
The stone sharpening wheel inside your sharpener is the component that sharpens
the blade edge. Over time, this wheel wears down and must be replaced. If you
sharpen your knives every 2 weeks (recommended), it is recommended to replace
the wheel every 2 years. To purchase a replacement wheel, visit ninjakitchen.com.
TO REPLACE THE STONE SHARPENING WHEEL:
1 Remove all knives from your block.
2 Move the sharpener lever to the bottom position. Rotate block and tilt the block
forward so you can easily access the back. Open the stone sharpening wheel
access door.
NOTE: There may be metal shavings inside the sharpener. Wipe with a towel
to remove.
3 As you hold the lever in the down position with your left hand, pull the wheel
holder down and towards you with your right hand. The wheel holder should
connect with the snap feature to be held in place.
NOTE: The wheel holder may be greasy and/or oily.
4 Remove the wheel by unsnapping and rotating the wheel pin clip upwards 90
degrees. Slide the wheel pin out and remove the wheel. Discard the wheel, but
reserve the wheel pin.
5 Replace the wheel by placing the new wheel in the wheel holder. It can be
installed in either direction. Insert the wheel pin through the wheel and snap the
wheel pin clip in place.
6 Verify the wheel is installed correctly by spinning the wheel. The wheel should
rotate in the wheel holder. If it is jammed, is wobbly, or easily pops out, repeat
step 5 until it rolls freely.
NOTE: The wheel is meant to be angled in the wheel holder.
7 Gently raise the wheel holder back to its original position inside the sharpener.
Remove your hand from the lever. Close the stone sharpening wheel access door.
8 Tilt block back so it is standing upright on counter. Move the lever up and down 3
times to ensure the sharpener is not jammed. If it is, repeat steps 2–8. Store your
knives back in their designated slots.

WARNING—TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY:
• Keep knives away from children.
• DO NOT touch a knife’s sharp blade edge.
• DO NOT use knives as screwdrivers or can openers. This is not their intended
purpose and can bend or break the blade and cause bodily injury.
• NEVER try to catch a falling knife.
• NEVER put a knife in a sink full of water.
• Keep knives away from the edge of your worktop.
• Carry knives with the blade edge pointing down.
• Wash one knife at a time. Wash with the blade facing away from you.
• Cut on a stable surface, preferably a wood, bamboo, or plastic cutting board.
• After handling a knife, lay it down in a cleared area with the blade away from the
body and a safe distance from the edge of the cutting area.
• DO NOT reach blindly for a knife; reach deliberately for the handle.
• Store knives properly in the Ninja knife block.
• A sharp knife is a safe knife and provides more control. A dull knife may slip
because of the added pressure needed to cut.
• Hold knife in place while sharpening.
