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

Hone: Realign a rolled edge without removing metal. Great for daily maintenance.

Sharpen: Restore the correct bevel shape quickly to very dull or damaged knives.

Serrated: Hone and sharpen each serration by pulling the knife through at an angle.

How is the Brød & Taylor Knife Sharpener different?

Unlike traditional sharpeners that leave a rough edge, our sharpener uses extremely hard sharpening surfaces to cut a smooth bevel quickly. It is also much easier to use than fine sharpening stones.

How often should I sharpen a knife?

We recommend honing (fine sharpening) frequently, ideally on a daily basis. Honing does not remove metal and actually extends the life of the blade. With regular honing, you may never need to coarse sharpen your knife.

Are the Professional and Classic models the same?

Yes, both models have the same sharpening mechanism using tungsten carbide surfaces and patented spring-action bars. The only difference is the base material: solid stainless steel or rugged nylon plastic.

How does the sharpener adjust to different blade angles?

Our patented spring-action sharpening bars allow the blade to float and automatically adjust to the natural angle of the knife's bevel. Applying more pressure will increase the angle of the bevel.

How often should I hone compared to coarse sharpen?

Honing (fine sharpening) should be performed often, ideally daily. Regular honing can prevent the blade from becoming dull enough to require coarse sharpening, which is typically only necessary for very dull blades.

Fast and Simple:

Our patented spring-action bars, invented by a master knife maker in Austria, 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.

Auto-Adjusting:

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

Safe for All Knives:

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

Solid 18/10 Stainless Steel base:

The one-piece cartridge design makes changing sharpeners fast and easy.
