Smith's 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 slot features a diamond coated sharpening wheel and blade
guides to hold your knife at the correct angle during mechanical sharpening. The micron-
sized, monocrystalline diamonds used to coat the sharpening wheel are selected for
their unique cutting 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.
After sharpening both sides of your blade with the diamond sharpening wheel, Smith's
recommends using the crossed ceramic stones in the manual finishing slot for final edge
honing. Crossed ceramic stones create a preset sharpening angle that lightly hones both
sides of your blade at the same time. Ceramic stones remove any burrs left on your blade
from mechanical sharpening and put a razor sharp edge on your blade. They can also be
used for a quick touch up of an already sharp blade or to sharpen serrated blades.
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.
