ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
The fact that this knife sharpener allows the user to adjust the angle of grind ensures its versatility for sharpening a vast array
of knives. Both guides adjust to the appropriate finishing angle for the knife being sharpened. This allows you to sharpen
everything from thin kitchen knives to wider tactical style knives at the same angles originally produced by their manufacturer.
The product also offers a manual sharpening slot designed to sharpen serrated edge knives.
