Product Description

Product description

The Twinsharp is a quick and easy way to restore the edge of all your knives. The Twinsharp will regrind and hone the edge of the knife just as a professional sharpener would do. To use, pull the knife in the direction of the arrow 4 or 5 times using moderate force.

Despite its name, this tool doesn't truly sharpen a knife. It's an alternative to a knife, or "butcher," steel. Like a steel, it performs the vital task of realigning, or "resetting," a knife's edge, which bends this way and that when contacting a cutting surface or other hard object. Because it employs steel and ceramic wheels to do the work on a knife's edge, it can grind a bit of steel off the blade. But that's more a polishing, or honing, than an actual sharpening. It's simple to use: grasp the curved grip with the left hand--left-handers must do it this way, too--and draw a knife through a V-shaped slot toward the body with the right hand. --Fred Brack
