Wusthof Knife Sharpener 2 Stage

The WÜSTHOF Two-Stage Hand-Held Knife Sharpener is safe and easy to use.

Place the sharpener 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.

This sharpener is designed to sharpen a knife at 14 degrees per side.

Instructions

• 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.
• Apply moderate downward pressure on the blade while pulling the knife toward you through the appropriate notch.
• Repeat this action, always pulling the blade from heel to tip (never back and forth) through either the carbide or the ceramic notch.

The first stage carbide(coarse) sharpens dull edges. The second stage ceramic provides a polished, razor-sharp edge.

A reasonably sharp knife may only require this light honing.

Care and Use:

• Hand-held pull-through sharpeners will wear down with regular use. 
• Steel dust may settle between either of the sharpening rods. 
• Use a small sift brush to dry brush away any remnants.
