ZWEISSEN Knife Sharpener Product Description ZWEISSEN is all about precision professional quality kitchen tools designed for home use and delivered at great value. The ZWEISSEN Schärfsten is a premium solution to the bulky whetstones of the past- this kitchen tool is able to sharpen steel knives with the same quality as a professional with its two-stage sharpening system. The first stage uses a diamond-coated steel sharpening wheel to sharpen, realign, and prepare the blade for the second step. For many, this is as sharp as the blade would need to be to make a good cut. The second stage runs the blade through an ultra fine 1000-grit ceramic sharpening wheel, which hones the blade to a razor-sharp finish. The two-stage system creates a double-beveled edge that will last up to twice as long as a standard single bevel. The ceramic cut is a cleaner process, with the final edge more refined than that rougher steel finish. This is especially true for new blades that don't require aggressive sharpening surfaces to restore their edge. Schärfsten itself has many stainless steel components including the base, handle, and housing for the sharpening wheels. As a result you can feel the quality when picking it up- this is a tool that's made to last. The bottom comes with a rubber backing to prevent Schärfsten from slipping while it's in use, and the wide stainless-steel handle allows you to hold it steady with security and safety. Additionally, the bi-directional design allows the Schärfsten to be used either right or left handed. All of this in a compact, professional design? ZWEISSEN delivers. Note that the two-stage design is intended for knives with a two-sided cutting edge, so be sure to check before you begin sharpening. Most knives are designed like this. The Schärfsten is not suitable for Asian, coated, or ceramic knives.
