YOU MADE A GOOD CHOICE
The Graef Model CX125 is the world's first sharpener designed specially to
create the exceedingly sharp and effective Trizor® edge on all household
cutlery. The Trizor® edge gives you the superior edge durability of the Graef
triple bevel edge while forming each of the major edge facets at 14 degrees
(28° total) for a sharpness that artisans devoted lifetimes to develop the skills
required to hand sharpen edges of this quality.
UNDERSTANDING THE TRIZOR EDGE
The Trizor® design uses multiple diamond abrasives of successively finer grits
to shape the facets into a modified gothic arch to create an edge that has
added strength, durability, and sharpness. The Trizor® edge is made by a three
step sharpening, honing and stropping process but the major edge angle is set
at 14° for added sharpness and effortless use.
You will appreciate the reduced effort in cutting and the enhanced sharpness.
Remember the edge will be sharper than you expect.
GETTING ACQUAINTED WITH THE GRAEF MODEL CX125
The Graef Model CX125 is a three stage sharpener with 100% diamond
abrasives in the first two stages to sharpen and hone the edge, followed in
Stage 3 with the Graef proprietary stropping/polishing disks to create an as-
tonishingly sharp edge.
You will find it easy to convert any of your household knives can be restored to
factory-new condition in just minutes.
All traditional-single beveled knives such as sashimi knives require special care
and must be sharpened primarily on one side of the edge. You will find you can
also sharpen your serrated blades with the Graef Model CX125 by following
the special instructions included on page 10.
The Graef Model CX125 retains the popular EdgeSelect® feature, introduced
by Graef, which allows you to sharpen each knife according to your intended
use, such as gourmet food preparation, butchering, dressing of game or of fish.
The three stages can be used in different sequences, for example to give you
either an astonishingly sharp, smooth faceted edge for effortless cutting or one
with a selected amount of residual "bite" – ideal for cutting fibrous food, meats,
stalky vegetables or dressing of game. This feature is described in detail in a
following section.
Graef Model CX125 is equipped with a manually actuated diamond dressing
system that can be used, when necessary, to clean any accumulated food or
