Product Description: 3-Action: Hone, Sharpen, Serrated

Hone: With the knife tip up - realign a rolled edge without removing metal. Great for daily maintenance.

Sharpen: With the knife tip down - quickly restore the correct bevel shape to very dull or damaged knives.

Serrated: For serrated knives, pull the knife through at an angle to hone and sharpen each serration.

How is the Brød & Taylor Knife Sharpener different from other sharpeners? Traditional sharpeners use abrasives that remove metal quickly but leave a rough edge, and fine sharpening stones are difficult to use correctly and slow. The VG2 uses extremely hard sharpening surfaces that can actually cut a smooth bevel quickly.

How often do I need to sharpen a knife? Knives should be honed (fine sharpened) frequently. Daily honing is best. No metal is removed and keeping the blade sharp actually extends the life of the blade. With frequent honing, you may never need to coarse sharpen your knife.

Can the sharpener damage my knives? The Brød & Taylor sharpener is safe for virtually all types of metal knives (it will not sharpen ceramic knives). It is extremely easy to use, and you may be surprised how quickly the coarse sharpen technique will shape a blade.

How does the sharpener adjust to different blade angles? The patented spring-action sharpening bars allow the blade to float, and automatically accommodate the natural angle of the knife’s bevel. If you press down harder on the blade, the angle of the bevel will increase.

How often should I hone (fine sharpen) compared to coarse sharpen? Honing (fine sharpening) can and should be performed often, daily is best. If a knife is honed regularly, it may never get dull enough to require coarse sharpening. Coarse sharpening is generally done only when a blade has become very dull.

Fast and Simple: Patented spring action bars invented in Austria by a master knife maker make sharpening easy and foolproof. Sharpen dull and damaged blades in seconds, or hone a razor sharp edge on even the finest knife blades. Get professional results easier and faster.

3-Action: 1: Sharpen by removing metal and cutting a new edge. 2: Hone by re-aligning the blade without removing metal. 3: For serrated knives, sharpen the complete edge by pulling through at an angle. More stable sharpening bars give superior results.

Auto-Adjusting: Precision tungsten-carbide sharpeners on patented spring-action bars automatically adjust to the angle of the knife blade. Control the angle from 11 degrees (super-sharp fillet knives) to 21 degrees (rugged chopping blades), including serrated and high-quality Damascus knives.

Safe for All Knives: Re-align edges before they roll over and dull without the fear of damaging your blade. The honing function will keep knives razor sharp without removing any metal.

Rugged PA 66 Nylon base. One-piece cartridge design makes changing sharpeners fast and easy.
