KitchenIQ Edge Gourmet Compact Electric and Manual Knife Sharpener

The KitchenIQ Gourmet Compact Electric or Manual Knife Sharpener features electric and manual sharpening in one compact unit. The electric sharpening slots feature a synthetic abrasive sharpening wheel with blade guides to automatically hold your knife at the correct sharpening angle. After sharpening with the electric sharpening wheel, KitchenIQ recommends using the ceramic rods for final edge honing. Crossed ceramic rods create a pre-set sharpening angle that lightly hones both sides of your blade at the same time putting a polished, razor-shape edge on your knife. The crossed ceramic rods can also be used for a quick touch-up on an already sharp knife. This unit will sharpen household knives of alloy, carbon or stainless steel.
