2 | introdUction

the Inventum ES100 is an electric knife sharpener that
maintains the sharpness of your knives and restores the
sharp edge. With this sharpener you can safely sharpen all
kinds of knives, like kitchen-, hunting-, fishing- or pocket-
knives.
the appliance is equipped with a unique sharpening wheel
that sharpens the knife with 20 ceramic pins which are
positioned crosswise on a wheel which rotates with a
speed of 330 rpm. the ceramic pins guarantee a careful
and efficient sharpening that forms the knife-edge in a
correct angle.
the sharpening wheel with the 20 ceramic pins is a
Swedish patented invention.
for very dull knives might be a more aggressive
sharpening method required. We advise to give these
knives to a professional for sharpening.
