Using 100 percent diamonds, the hardest natural substance on earth, our patented abrasives sharpen edges faster and easier. This sharpener improves cutting performance by creating 2 distinct facets set at different angles to form a longer lasting, arch-shaped edge. The first stage sharpens straight-edge knives using medium diamond abrasives. The second and third stages create different finishes based on the cutting task. Use stage two for a micro serrated finish or use stage three for a polished finish. Precision angle guides ensure accurate sharpening throughout the entire blade length and eliminate any guesswork. This unit is designed to work with both straight-edge and serrated knives.WHY YOU NEED A KNIFE SHARPENER – Over time, a knife’s edge dulls under the stress of cutting. The overall performance can be significantly improved if sharpened and maintained correctly. HOW DO KNIFE SHARPENERS WORK – Good sharpening systems shape the knife edge with a coarse abrasive and polish with a finer abrasive.
