Ghost Sharpener – The Always-There Knife & Scissor Sharpener
Ghost Sharpener is a patented, pivoting knife and scissor sharpening system designed to eliminate one of the most common frustrations in kitchens and workspaces: misplaced or inaccessible sharpeners. Unlike traditional handheld sharpeners that get lost in drawers or cluttered countertops, Ghost Sharpener is discreetly mounted inside a drawer or cabinet frame and pivots into use only when needed—then disappears back into storage when not in use.
The result is a sharpening solution that is always accessible, always organized, and completely out of the way.
The Problem
Knife and scissor sharpeners are essential tools in both residential and commercial kitchens, yet they are often:
- Small and easily misplaced
- Inconvenient to retrieve when needed
- Stored loosely in drawers, creating clutter and inefficiency
This leads to dull cutting tools, wasted time, and inconsistent use of sharpeners altogether.
The Solution: Ghost Sharpener
Ghost Sharpener solves this problem with a pivot-mounted sharpening assembly that attaches directly to a drawer or cabinet frame. The sharpener:
- Pivots into a deployed position for quick, stable sharpening
- Folds back into a storage position inside the drawer, allowing it to close normally
- Remains securely mounted, eliminating loss or misplacement
The product is available in configurations using either mechanical fasteners or high-strength adhesive mounting, enabling easy installation without permanent modification to cabinetry.
