Result

Exact angle

Keeps an exact angle across the cutting edge of the knife. This is approximately 15° per side for European blades, and 10° per side for Japanese blades.

How does V-Edge work?

The cutting performance of knives will diminish after extended use, therefore blades requires sharpening. The V-Edge removes dull material from the knife with two different angle adapters.

If your knife is blunt a coarse sharpener will work to sharpen the blade, and if the knife is dull there is also a finer sharpener to hone the blade edge.

The V-Edge allows you to sharpen knives with various levels of dullness as the finer the sharpener is, the lower the amount of material removed from the knife edge. 

Step 1

Place the V-Edge on a flat, non-slip surface.

Step 2

Select the sharpener and angle adapter.

Step 3

Hold the V-Edge with one hand and the knife with the other.

Step 4

Hold the knife horizontally and pull it downwards towards you.

Step 5

Repeat step 4 several times (depending on the initial condition of the knife and the sharpener in use).

Step 6

If desired, switch to a finer sharpener for even better results or switch to a coarser sharpener when more material requires removing.

Important

Knives with a serrated edge must not be sharpened with the V-Edge.

Sharpening basics

Any stainless steel blade eventually dulls with time and requires sharpening. The speed at which a blade dulls depends on conditions such as what it is being used to cut and the kind of cutting board used.

What defines a knife as blunt?

Stages

Professionals refer to a knife as blunt when the cutting edge becomes rounded and there is no longer a discernible wedge along the edge. Blunt knives can no longer be efficiently sharpened with a sharpening steel. Such knives need to be reground. This usually involves material being removed from both sides of the blade to create a new, fine edge.
