Work Smarter in the Kitchen
Who doesn’t want to work smarter in the kitchen? A great tip to remember is to keep your knives sharp. Don’t let them go dull. The Fine slot on the Edge Grip is ideal for regular knife maintenance with its gentle ceramics. These ceramics will polish the knife edge and keep it sharp. So run the knife through this slot every time you use the knife. A sharp knife definitely speeds up prep work in the kitchen.

Edge Grip Feature Gives More Flexibility when Sharpening
The Edge Grip is designed with a unique feature called “edge grip. ” What does this mean? Well the bottom of the sharpener has been designed to allow the sharpener to rest on the edge the counter top or table. Why is this helpful? Sometimes when you sharpen a large chef’s knife with a smaller sharpener, you might drag the tip of the knife across the counter top. This can damage the knife or worse the countertop. So sharpening on the edge with the edge grip allows the knife to pull through the slots from heel to tip. Of course you can still use the Edge Grip on top of the surface but isn’t it nice to have flexibility when sharpening if you need it? The bottom is made of a non-slip material that allows for safe and sturdy sharpening.

Reviews:
I ordered this because so many reviews said it worked when others of similar design did not deliver the sharpening abilities that they promised. I have used at least a half dozen with similar "pull the blade through the groove design" and none of them worked well enough that I ever bothered to give them a second chance. But, I was growing tired of buying new chef's knives for my elderly mother who refuses to steel the nice Victorinox knives I have been buying for her. She dulls them quickly to the point where steeling them is no longer effective. For five and a half dollars, I thought it would be cheaper if I could save her old knives rather than buying new $25 knives for her. She was so impressed with the results that she pulled out of her junk drawer multiple retired paring knives, a filet knife and a huge 12 inch American made chefs knife that was about 30 years old and asked me to sharpen them. I was able to bring back a cutting edge on all of them! Maybe not as sharp as new, but plenty sharp for use in the kitchen. The worst couple of blades needed about dozen passes through the "coarse" groove instead of the 3 or 4 the instructions recommended, but it did put a sharp edge on all of them. I don't know how many knives this will sharpen before losing its effectiveness, but it handled the first eight badly dulled knives I tried. Hopefully it will last for many more. Highly recommended.
