Kitchen Knife Sharpener 3 Stage Manual Sharpener for Repair, Restore and Polish Blades and Cut-Resistant Glove

Keep cooking fun, safe and healthy with our smart Knife Sharpener ! Our 3-step system begins with a diamond rod slot that gently repairs and straightens damaged blades. You can even use it for ceramic knives! Next, tungsten steel provides coarse sharpening that restores the blade to a V-shape before the 3rd slot creates a stunning polish. Easy to Use Stage 1 - Preparation (High grade Diamond rods). This 'roughens' the knife edge to prepare the surface for sharpening. It also smooths any nicks and imperfections that could cause the blade to 'catch' during the sharpening stage (a common problem with 1 and 2 stage pull through sharpeners which can cause damage to blades). Stage 2 - Sharpen (Hardened Tungsten Carbide Plates) - Now pull the blade through slot 2's precision angled tungsten carbide plates to create the perfect sharpened 'V' edge on even the bluntest knife. Stage 3 - Hone (Ceramic Stone Rods) - For final edge honing. It removes any burs and gently polishes the blade edges for a super sharp finish. Blade Angle The optimum angle to sharpen a standard kitchen knife is 20 degrees. The Smart Sharp sharpens to a precise angle of 20 degrees, making it suitable for most kitchen knives. However, please be advised of the following exceptions: We do not recommend that the Smart Sharp is used on specialist Japanese knives, including the knife brand 'Global' - this is due to the much narrower blade angles of these knives. May not be suitable for knives previously sharpened by long term use of whetstones or steels. Knives sharpened by these methods may have developed a different or uneven blade angle over time.
