This knife sharpener has a complete 3-step sharpening process: prepare, sharpen and hone. The diamond rods are for pre grinding steel blades that have fallen out of shape, tungsten carbide steel rods are for shaping and sharpening normal steel knives, making them sharp again, and ceramic stone rods are for honing, removing burrs and polishing the blades.
The sharpener is made from high-quality ABS plastic. Whether you are right or left-handed, the large ergonomic handle and slip-resistant mat provides a secure and stable grip.
To sharpen, simply place the blade in the slot of the desired module and guide it at an angle of 90° to the sharpener gently pulling the knife through a few times in one direction only (don't push) and in just a few seconds even old blunt knives are as good as new. No tedious grinding and no worries about damaging your expensive knives with handheld stones.
The sharpener head can be easily removed for cleaning the rods after use. Wipe with a damp cloth or mild brush, and dry with a soft towel.
Not suitable for serrated knives and scissors.
