The SHARPAL Item No. 191H is a versatile sharpening tool designed for various cutting implements, including knives, scissors, and other blades. Its compact and user-friendly design makes it suitable for both household and non-industrial use.

Function Description

The device offers three primary sharpening functions:

• Coarse Sharpening: Utilizes a CARBIDE V-notch slot (No. 1) to quickly set a new edge on dull or damaged knife blades.
• Fine Honing: Employs a CERAMIC V-notch slot (No. 2) to hone for a smooth, finished edge on slightly dull knives or to refine an edge after coarse sharpening. This slot is also recommended for sharpening serrated edge knives.
• Scissors Sharpening: Features a dedicated horizontal carbide sharpening blade for single-beveled scissors.

Usage Features

The SHARPAL 191H is designed for ease of use and safety:

• Stable Placement: Before sharpening, the device should be placed on a flat surface. It incorporates a black lever that activates a suction pad, securely attaching the sharpener to the table. To release, simply pull the lever up.
• Optimal Positioning: To prevent accidental cuts to the sharpener or table, it is recommended to place the sharpener as close as possible to the table edge during use.
• Knife Sharpening:
  • Suitable for all double-beveled edge knives. Not recommended for single-beveled edge knives.
  • Insert the blade fully and vertically into the chosen V-notch slot at a 90-degree angle to the sharpener.
  • Gently pull the knife blade from heel to tip in the direction indicated by arrows, applying light pressure.
  • For valuable knives, it's advised to try the No. 2 CERAMIC slot first for fine honing. The No. 1 CARBIDE slot is for dull or damaged edges requiring a new edge.
  • Light pressure is sufficient; excessive pressure can lead to loss of control and potential injury. Pressure should be increased carefully and gradually until the desired result is achieved.
  • Always pull the blade through the slot; never move it back and forth.
• Serrated Edge Knife Sharpening: Use only the No. 2 CERAMIC slot for sharpening serrated edge knives.
• Scissors Sharpening:
  • Only sharpen the beveled side of each blade.
  • Open the scissors and lay the edge of the beveled side of one blade across the horizontal carbide sharpening blade (located above the scissors icon).
  • Ensure the open hinged scissors blade is all the way up to the horizontal carbide sharpening blade and angled so the bevel side fully leans on the sharpening blade.
  • With light pressure, pull the blade in the direction of the arrow with a downward motion, following the preset angle. Repeat several times until a sharp edge is achieved. Do not push the scissors blade over the sharpening blade.
  • After sharpening, burrs can be removed by setting the scissors back together and opening/closing them a few times.

Maintenance Features

• Cleaning: The exterior of the sharpener can be cleaned with a damp, soft cloth.
• Lubrication: Oil or other lubricating liquids are not necessary for this device.

Safety Warnings

• It is recommended to wear gloves when sharpening a blade with this product.
• There is no need to place a free hand on top of the sharpener during use.
• This product is not a toy and should be kept out of the reach of children.
