Advantages

Diamond-coated grinding disks hone blades to the required sharpness and work in both forward and backward strokes for faster processing. The ErgoTec handle ensures comfortable, controlled handling while the stainless steel insert adds durability. Rubber nubs provide a secure footing during use and the hand protection reduces the risk of injury. A long-term 25-year warranty confirms product reliability.

How to use

Place the tool on a stable surface and hold the sharpener by the ErgoTec handle. Insert the blade or axe into the appropriate guidance slot (smaller for knives, larger for axes). Pull the blade through the grinding disks in a steady motion; the diamond-coated disks work on both forward and backward strokes so a few passes are usually enough to restore edge sharpness. Keep the other hand on the sharpener body at the rubber-studded base for stability and ensure the hand guard protects your fingers.

Usage recommendations

For best results, clean blades before sharpening and perform light, even passes rather than excessive force. Inspect the edge periodically during sharpening to avoid over-grinding and follow all safety precautions when working with sharp tools.
