Most importantly this technique gives you a clear sight of the blade against the strike plate and diamond stone. The KS embraces the FASTTRACK ethos of a controlled, predictable and repeatable sharpening stroke – No other handheld sharpener does this. The sharpener is powered by a high torque motor, which is quite audible and runs at a constant speed under load and drives two rotating diamond coated discs.

Bavarian Edge Black Diamond Edition goes into each curve and accentuates it rather than skipping across each bump, flattening it out and blunting your bread knife!To sharpen scissors you pull the blades through the bottom slot, again from the heel to tip a couple of times and the ceramic 1000 grit abrasive hones and creates a new edge.

Bavarian Edge Black Diamond Edition is unique because its upright, vertical construction means that, as you draw the blade through the sprung arms, the tungsten carbide sharpening surfaces are positioned at the perfect angle and with the perfect amount of pressure to follow every microscopic variation, bump, chip and nick in the cutting edge of your blade.Smith's Diamond Edge Grip Max 2-Stage Knife and Scissor Sharpener is made with both carbide blades, perfect for bringing your dull and damaged knives back to life, and ceramic blades for those quick touch-ups and polishing of already sharpened knives.
