Wusthof Knife Sharpener Ikon 4348
The latest pull through knife sharpener from Wusthof has both daimond and ceramic sharpeners.
- Innovative knife sharpener for left and right-handed use.
- Two levels are available for sharpening knives, depending on how much cutting performance has been lost.
- The first level, “Coarse”, is recommended for when the knife is blunt. The blade angle is reproduced thanks to the carbide high-carbon steel abrasive wheel in the knife sharpener.
- The second level, “Fine”, is suitable both for fine sharpening following on from the first level or for regular resharpening of the blade. The ceramic slats grind the blade and the knife regains its original sharpness.
- Knives with a serrated edge should only be sharpened using the second level in order to remove any burrs that have developed.
- As the device produces a cutting angle of approximately 30 degrees, it is suitable for sharpening all sorts of different European made knives.
- The blade of the knife is inserted vertically into the slot with the grinding slats.
- The rear end of the blade is placed between the slats and pulled gently through to the tip, keeping the blade straight.
- Meanwhile, the handle of the device should be held with the other hand.
- The ergonomic handle and the non-slip base of the knife sharpener ensure safe handling.
- The process is repeated depending on the bluntness of the blade.
- In order to achieve the best possible result, the knife blades should be cleaned before and after every grinding process.
