At home in your own kitchen.

Getting Started information









TRY THIS AT HOME
The fine-grained diamond wheel is optimized for razor-like sharpness, so we have just one small warning: There is a major risk this will become your new favorite gadget!
-
1. SET PREFERRED EDGE ANGLE
17° is a good angle to start with if you are unsure of what angle to choose. A small angle will cut more easily, while a large angle will give a stronger edge.
-
2. SHARPEN ON BOTH SIDES
Insert the knife into the guide. Follow the edge profile and apply gentle pressure, as if you were slicing a tomato.
-
3. HONE TO A FINAL FINISH
Remove the burr and polish the knife on the honing wheel to achieve a razor-sharp edge.
