Electric Knife Sharpener
Smith’s is proud to offer an easy to use and effective electric knife sharpener that
incorporates both mechanical and manual sharpening elements in one unit. This unique
combination provides a broad capability to easily sharpen dull blades and maintain razor
sharp edges.
The mechanical sharpening slots feature a diamond-coated sharpening wheel (COARSE)
and a ceramic sharpening wheel (FINE) and blade guides to hold your knife at the correct
angle during mechanical sharpening. The micron-sized, monocrystalline diamonds
and ceramics used to coat the sharpening wheels are selected for their unique cutting
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING! This electric knife sharpener will produce a very sharp
edge. Use caution when handling your knife after sharpening. Do
not test knife sharpness by running your fingers or any part of your
body along the edge of the blade. To avoid injury, handle sharpened
knives with extreme care.
performance and are applied to the surface of the wheel by a highly technical process that
guarantees longer wheel life, uniform cutting, and minimum heat build up so that damage
or detempering of your blade does not occur.
Your Smith’s Electric Knife Sharpener will sharpen knives of alloy, carbon, or stainless steel.
It is designed to sharpen kitchen and most sporting knives. Do not attempt to sharpen
scissors or any blade that does not fit freely in the blade guides.
The Diamond Edge Elite Electric Knife Sharpener offers two stages of mechanical
sharpening, COARSE and FINE. This allows you to match the condition of the blade with
the appropriate rate of metal removal needed to sharpen the edge. A very dull edge needs
more metal removed to restore sharpness while a reasonably well-maintained edge
requires a minimal amount of metal removal. Two stages of sharpening helps prolong the
life of your knife by only taking off enough metal to make your knife sharp, while giving you
professional results every time.
COARSE
- This sharpening wheel is used for knives that are very dull and require more
metal removal to restore the edge sharpness.
FINE
- This sharpening wheel is best for knives that are fairly sharp and just need a quick
touch-up with little metal removal. In many cases, and particularly after the initial reshaping
of your blade’s edge, use of the FINE slot, will be all the sharpening your blade will need.
SERRATED
- This manual, pull-through slot should be used for sharpening most all types
of serrated blades or the serrated portion of your blade.
