Safe and easy to use, this two-stage knife sharpener requires nothing but a few easy strokes to keep blades sharp. Its V-shaped cutting head with two crossed carbide blades puts a quick edge on knives. Simply place the gadget on a flat work surface and hold the E-Z grip handle with one hand and the knife handle with the other. Insert the knife blade fully into the slot at a 90-degree angle to the sharpener and pull back a few times to sharpen. After setting the knife's edge with the carbide side, use the unit's ceramic side to nicely finish the edge. The two-stage knife sharpener measures 9 by 3 by 1-1/2-inches.

Stage Knife Sharpening

1. Place sharpener on a flat work surface. Hold the sharpener with one hand as indicated and the knife handle with the other. Insert knife blade fully into the slot at a 90° angle to the sharpener.
2. Apply moderate downward pressure on the blade while pulling the knife toward you through the appropriate notch.
3. Repeat this action, always pulling the blade from heel to tip (never back and forth) through either the carbide or the ceramic notch.

Note: The first stage carbide (coarse) sharpens dull edges. The second stage ceramic (fine) provides a polished, razor sharp edge. A reasonably sharp knife may only require this light honing.

Care & Use: Always clean your sharpener after use. Clean with a damp cloth or mild brush, wipe dry.
