Your advantages:
- GRAEF knife sharpeners (except Pronto / CC80) are equipped with very precise, elastic angle guides for any knife quality. The blade is thus sharpened much more accurately and "sharper" than with comparable devices.
- Our knife sharpeners use diamond dust on the grinding discs for minimum material removal from the knife. As a result, the wheels can run much slower compared to other sharpeners. This results in less friction on the knife steel and the blade does not anneal.
- The ceramic stage for honing/polishing at the end of the sharpening process works very finely compared to other sharpeners. Here, too, there is almost no material removal.
Phase 1: Grinding
Simplest handling due to precise blade guidance
Perfect build-up of the cutting edge due to slowly rotating, diamond-coated wheels.
- 20° grinding angle: Suitable for all household, leisure and commercial knives.
- 15° grinding angle: Suitable for Japanese knives
Phase 2: Polishing
Gentle restoration of sharpness through a honing stage. A flexible faceplate straightens the grade again. The knife is perfectly sharpened.
