・About this item
This is a kitchen knife sharpener made by Fuji Cutlery, a subsidiary of Tojiro. It is designed for use only with double-bevel stainless steel knives.
Please note that this sharpener is used by pulling the knife towards you rather than moving it back and forth. Moving the knife back and forth can cause the blade to chip.
The second photo shows the instruction manual. Below is the translation of the instructions:
Instructions:
1.Firmly grip the handle as shown in the diagram.
2.Insert the knife straight into the sharpener.
3.Pull the knife towards you several times in the direction of the arrow. Do not push the knife forward.
4.The ceramic rods have four usable sides. When they no longer sharpen effectively, remove the screws and rotate both ceramic rods to a new side. If you only rotate one rod, it can cause the blade to chip, so be sure to rotate both rods. This will restore the sharpening ability.
Caution:
Do not use this sharpener on single-bevel knives, serrated knives, or scissors.
Do not move the knife back and forth while sharpening, as it can cause the blade to chip. Never push the knife forward.
