MPOWER Your Knife Sharpener
This knife sharpener is designed for those who appreciate precision and performance in their tools. When woodworkers find themselves in the kitchen, they’ll likely prefer using knives that have a decent edge.
The FASTTRACK Legacy
Fifteen years ago, we launched a unique lateral stroke sharpener for chisels and plane blades. The name of the product was and is FASTTRACK, an acronym: Fixed – Angle – Sharpening – Technology Track.
Revolutionizing Handheld Sharpening
The knife sharpener embraces the Fasttrack ethos of a controlled, predictable, and repeatable sharpening stroke—no other handheld sharpener does this. Although it’s taken 12 years from the first prototype to commercial launch, we’re hopeful you’ll think it was worth the wait.
Genuine Knife Care Redefined
The Fasttrack Knife Sharpener embodies the idea of genuine “knife care.” It is the only handheld sharpener in the world with interchangeable grades of diamond stones and an onboard real leather strop for finishing that freshly ground edge. Most importantly, it delivers the ability to create and maintain a truly fine edge in seconds.
Sharpening Pre-Preparation
We quickly learned how many existing knife sharpeners on the market actually damaged the knives they claim to sharpen. The Fasttrack Knife Sharpener takes a completely different approach.
Pre-preparation creates a full beveled edge on both sides of the blade. The convergent point of the two bevels becomes the blade edge. When the knife dulls over time, it takes only 3 to 6 sharpening strokes on each side to refresh the blade edge. This is because the material above the convergent point is already set and ground to the correct bevel angle.
Two Techniques – One Result
Worktop Sharpening Technique
The Fasttrack Knife Sharpener can be used on a work surface. For less experienced users, standing the sharpener on its non-slip nitrile feet on a worktop provides added confidence and improves control. This technique offers a clear view of the blade against the strike plate and diamond stone, helping users understand how the sharpener works.
Freehand Sharpening Technique
For experienced users, the sharpener can be handheld, mimicking the action of a chef’s steel but without the need to maintain a consistent angle between two handheld objects. Embedded rare earth magnets hold the blade side against the strike plate, ensuring consistent contact with the 3″ DC diamond stone at the correct angle.
Sharpening Angle
The sharpening angle of 17 degrees (inclusive angle of 34 degrees) offers the best all-around performance for kitchen use, based on extensive research and feedback.
Leather Strop “On-Board”
No other knife sharpener combines fixed-angle sharpening with a honing strop. The dish-profiled leather strop removes any wire or burr created during sharpening, utilizing leather’s time-honored qualities for a compliant yet durable surface. The strop also prevents damage to the blade sides during sharpening and helps burnish the knife over time.
Consistent Sharpening Angle
A consistent angled contact point between the knife edge and the abrasive determines whether you sharpen or blunt your knife. Rare earth magnets embedded in the strike plate hold the blade side at the correct angle, ensuring precise and efficient sharpening with every stroke.
Knife Sharpening Diamond Stones
Since 2001, Mpower has developed and manufactured high-quality diamond stones. The Fasttrack Knife Sharpener offers five accessory grades of diamond stones:
| Name | Color | Grit Size |
|---|---|---|
| Extra Coarse | Grey | 100 |
| Preparation | Black | 220 |
| Finishing | White | 450 |
| Fine Finishing | Red | 600 |
| Super Fine Finishing | Green | 1200 |
Whether removing nicks or re-establishing full bevel edges, these stones provide options to suit any sharpening preference.
Quick Change Option
Changing diamond stone grades is effortless. The stones are held in place by a magnet, allowing a quick switch in less than 20 seconds, without the need for tools.
Storage
Unlike traditional bench-mounted sharpeners, the Fasttrack Knife Sharpener is compact and ready to use. It can be stored in a kitchen drawer and used mid-cooking, sharpening a knife in less than 30 seconds before returning it to storage.
UK Construction
Built to last a lifetime, the sharpener is constructed with premium materials. Stainless steel fixings and high-quality leather strops, prepared by a UK supplier, ensure durability and exceptional performance. All components are carefully assembled in the UK.

Kitchen knives
There are an enormous range of differing shapes and sizes when it comes to kitchen knives. All of them can be sharpened on the KS without issue. Both Steel and Stainless Steel knives can be sharpened. – However the KS is not suitable for Ceramic knives.
Chef knives
Due to the depth and length of the blade, this is one of the easiest knives to get started with using the FTS KS. A common tendency in the kitchen is to have a favourite knife that’s used for practically every task, most common for this is the Chef’s knife.
Serrated knives
The tips of the serration is where blunting usually occurs – being the first part of the blade that comes in contact with what’s being cut first. We’ve had excellent results re-sharpening bread knives etc using the FTS KS however the trough of the serration remains untouched.
Boning knives and Small paring Knives
All knives with narrower blades can easily be sharpened using the KS. We’ve found that the worktop technique giving a better sight of the knife to strike plate is the easiest way to gain a fine edge.
Snap off blade Knives
Taking recycling to another level is to re-sharpen “snap off” bladed knives. A seriously fine edge can be created and regained time and time again using the FTS KS.
1) My magnet(s) have fallen out, what doI do?
A small number of first production run FTS Knife Sharpeners have had an issue with magnets coming away from their recesses.
Solution to this is to re-glue the magnets into position.
A) Front Plate Magnet Process
Unscrew the front plate and remove
Remove the diamond stone from the front plate
Using super glue, put a single large drop of glue in the magnet recess
Return the magnet back to its original position in the recess.
Making sure to keep your fingers away from any wet glue…
To help adhesion, place the diamond stone, metal side up, underneath the front plate
This helps to draw the magnet down whilst the glue sets
B) Front Strike Plate Magnet Process
Unscrew the front plate and remove
Remove the diamond stone from the front plate
Using super glue, put a single large drop of glue in the magnet recess
Return the magnet back to its original position in the recess.
Making sure to keep your fingers away from any wet glue…
We apologize for any inconvenience caused and assure you that we have rectified this issue in further production runs
2) I can’t get a sharp edge on my knife using the FTS KS?
A) Like every other tool, the KS has a technique and without learning it the results won’t come
To get underway straight from the box, Start with the Worktop Technique. (plse see the 2nd half of the demo VT on the product page). The instructions are pretty simple.
Rest the KS on its feet on your worksurface and hold the KS handle with your non dominant hand.
Use a light grip to hold the knife, This will allow the strike plate magnets to hold the knife side against the strike plate at the correct angle. Then with that relaxed grip slot your knife into the KS close to the hilt of your knife.
Slowly drawer the knife through the slot, watching to make sure that the blade side remains flat against the KS strike plate throughout the sharpening stroke. If the knife side comes away from the strike plate, the blade edge can slip into the slot below and the knife edge will miss the diamond stone.
Practice getting used to the feel of the technique on an old large knife. After 3 or 4 strokes rotate the KS 180 deg’s and repeat the process. Continue to practice this until the technique becomes familiar.
Strop the knife and check how the blade edge is progressing by chopping some vegetables.
Only when your entirely comfortable with the worktop technique do we suggest moving onto the Free hand technique
B) How had you been sharpening your knife before
Let’s first check the state of your knife, this is down to how you used to sharpen it before using the KS.
Different sharpeners create different bevel edges at different angles.
First time sharpening: To establish a new pair of flat ground bevels with the KS. It’s possible it may take up to 5 minutes of sharpening.
After that, each re-sharpen will take less than 30 seconds
To check the progress of the new bevels, color the tip of the knife edge along the length of the blade on both sides using a felt marker. Let it dry, then repeat 2 sets of 3 x sharpening strokes on the KS with the most coarse stone you have. Standard 220 # is great for the job
The marker will show you on which part of the blade bevel the KS is currently working on.
If there is any marker left of the very tip of the blade on either side continue to sharpen until all traces of the marker has been ground away from the tip.
If you find that the marker is not being touched on one side, it’s showing that the blade is slipping past the diamond stone into the slot and is not being sharpened.
3) When I first tried using the KS, it sounded loud and scratchy, is that normal and will this damage my knives?
Yes, it’s perfectly normal and it’s fine for your knives. All diamond stones, especially coarser grades need a period of use to bedded in. The plating process leaves a residue of diamond that will sit very proud of the surface, in a short time, these extraneous diamond particles will come away leaving the stone in optimum condition for sharpening.
4) I’m new to sharpening which technique should I start with?
The worktop technique
5) How do I sharpen a Small knife?
Certainly when learning the techniques we highly recommend using the Worktop Technique
6) Can I use the KS on my ceramic knife?
No the FTS KS is not suitable to sharpen ceramic knives
7) Can I use angled stones in my Fasttrack Knife Sharpener? Yes, only if you’re sharpening Japanese Knives
8) Does the KS work with a serrated knife? Yes, you can use the KS on a serrated knife.

Diamond Surface didn’t last – I used it on some well-loved knives and it did bring back a sharp edge, but the diamond surface is flaking off.

Love this tool! – Exceeds expectation. No more trips to the hardware store to get knives sharpened. It just plain works.
The Budster – Via Amazon –
Easy to use – This sharpener is very easy to use. It does not give you that perfect blade but it is so easy to use that my wife uses it. The blade comes out very sharp in a minimal amount of time.
Paul – Via The Grommet –
Love it – The more i use it the more i love it
Victoria – Via The Grommet –
Professional sharpening for amateur hands – This is one of the best sharpeners I’ve had, hands-down. The magnets inside keep the blade at the perfect angle to ensure you get the best sharpen on your blade. Once you’re done, wipe the blade against the leather back to keep it clean.
This sharpener is awesome for all my knives too – when I was ‘gifted’ a knife block by a friend, it revitalized the dull blades. All the knives, from pairing knife to butcher knife were restored as though I had gone to a professional.
Doris – Via The Grommet –
Quick and Easy – This is a good knife sharpener. The initial sharpening of a dull knife will take a little time, but after that, it’s quick and easy. I like it very much, especially since it doesn’t require electricity.
John – Via The Grommet –
OK, but by-hand sharpening on a whetstone is better – I was hoping for a better sharpening device. This is OK, but not that device.
Stephen Greenfield –
Fast – works great
Martin Sumner-Smith –
Nice Piece – Takes a little more care to ensure blade is positioned correctly than I expected and when I got quickly I sometime catch the top edge of the sharpening stone.
Ian Lowry – UK –
Great Sharpener – I came across this knife sharpener when “Stumpy Nubs ” reviewed it on his woodworking YouTube channel in a “Cool Tools” video. Having used it for a week to revive my kitchen knives; i am very impressed with it. Over the years I have struggled with a traditional steel and any number of so-called sharpeners, but usually give up in disgust sooner or later. The Fast Track now takes only three or four passes to maintain a razor sharp edge. I can now cut really thin tomato slices once again! The supplied diamond stone works well for me, but if you want a coarser, or finer, stone, then Trend UK actually stock them. Personally ,I really like this sharpener and have finally thrown away all the pretenders.
