The precision angle guides ensure the correct angle from bolster to tip, every single time, with no technique or practice required. Stages 1 and 2 build the edge with diamond discs in two grades of fineness, and stage 3 polishes it to a razor sharp finish with patented stropping discs. The result is a triple bevel edge that bites better and stays sharp longer than a traditional edge. If you butcher game, fillet fish or make sausages, the difference between dull and sharp is the difference between struggle and joy.
A sharp knife is a safe knife, because it is the dull knives that slip and cause injuries. Make it a habit to pull the knife through stage 3 a few quick times before every butchering session, it takes seconds and keeps the edge razor sharp. A full sharpening through all three stages is only needed once the knife has lost its bite.

FAQ Frequently asked questions
Can it sharpen serrated knives and bread knives?
Yes. Serrated knives are sharpened in stage 3, where the patented stropping discs sharpen the teeth themselves and remove unevenness, so your bread knife bites like new again.
Is it suitable for Japanese knives?
Yes, perfectly. 15 degrees is exactly the angle Japanese and Asian knives come with from the factory. European knives with 20 degree edges are converted to the sharper 15 degree Trizor edge that many professional chefs prefer.
How often should I sharpen my knives?
Maintain the edge with a few seconds in stage 3 every week or two with normal use, and the knife stays sharp without any noticeable steel being removed. A full sharpening through all three stages is only needed once the knife has become properly dull.
