THE EDGE autoSHARP knife sharpener
The Edge AutoSHARP is innovative knife sharpener, which automatically adjusts the sharpening angle depending on the knife model. With the sharpener AutoSHARP you will sharpen and polish not only kitchen knives, but also edc knives, cleavers and outdoor knives.
Simple design
The whetstone has a polymer construction, resistant to mechanical damage and weather conditions.
Small body and minimal weight cause that, despite its kitchen purpose, it can also accompany us on camping, hunting and other activities during which we will need a sharp knife. The sharpener has a non-slip base, double-sided grip and sharpening slot.
Automatic sharpening angle
Unlike classic V-type sharpeners, in AutoSHARP sharpening stone the angle of sharpening rods is variable. Such functionality was achieved through the use of lateral springs on which the abrasive plates made of tungsten carbide.
Sharpener automatically adjusts to the angle of the cutting edge, thanks to which with its help we can sharpen different kinds of knives m.in. kitchen knives, pocket knives, edc folders, outdoor knives and cleavers.
Many knife users do not know the factory angle of the cutting edge, this is where the sharpener comes to the rescue AutoSharp, which solves this problem and quickly and easily repairs a dulled blade.
With the help of the whetstone we can also sharpen serrated knives, which usually require the use of a special sharpener.
Sharpening and polishing
The Edge AutoSHARP is a functional sharpener that allows you not only to repair and sharpen a blunt cutting edge, but also to smooth it out (honing).
Pre-sharpening is done in the classic manner that is, after placing the blade in the sharpening slot (with the tip facing down), pull the knife until sharpness is achieved.
The angle between the handle and the ground of the sharpener should be between 15 and 45°. Polishing is done in a similar manner, except that the tip of the blade should be lifted upward during smoothing.
The recommended angle between the blade and the ground is 15 - 45°. Knives with a serrated cutting edge should be sharpened and polished parallel to the ground (without tilting the blade down or up).
List of knife safety warnings based on requirements
Regulation (EU) 2023/988 on general product safety
(GPSR):
* Risk of injury: Use the knife carefully and always hold it by the handle. The blade is
very sharp and can cause serious cuts. Don't try to catch a falling
knife.
* Safe storage: the knife should be stored in a safe
place, out of reach of children and unauthorized persons. Use a blade guard if
is available.
* Use as intended: Do not use the knife for purposes for which it is not
intended, for example, for opening cans or loosening screws. This can lead to
knife damage or injury.
* Caution when cleaning: Use caution when cleaning the knife,
to avoid cuts. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents that can
damage the blade.
* Blade maintenance: Sharpen the blades regularly to keep them in good condition. Blunt
knives are more dangerous than sharp ones because they require more force, which
increases the risk of slipping.
* Transporting the knife: When transporting the knife, make sure the blade is secured,
for example, by using a vagina or sheath. This prevents accidental injuries.
* Keep your knife clean: Clean the knife regularly to remove any food debris
or other contaminants. This ensures safe and hygienic use.
* Do not modify the knife: Do not try to modify the knife or repair it yourself,
if you don't have the right skills. This can lead to damage to the knife
or injuries.
* Warning for children: knives are intended for adults only. Do not allow
children to use knives without supervision.
* Disposal: Dispose of used or damaged knives in a safe manner to
prevent accidental cuts.
This product is for adults only, who have knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can lead to serious injury. The blade of the knife is very sharp and can quickly cut through skin and tissues; so always be very careful when slicing and do not bring your hand close to the cutting edge. To avoid slipping of the knife, it is recommended to cut on a stable and non-slip surface and avoid excessive pressure, which can cause uncontrolled movement of the blade.
Be aware that leaving a knife on the edge of a table, countertop or in easy-to-reach places, especially for children, is a danger. The knife should always be properly secured after finishing work, preferably by putting it down on a stable surface or storing it in specially designed blocks, sheaths or on magnetic strips. Never use a knife for tasks for which it is not intended, such as opening cans or using it as a lever, as this risks both damage to the tool and dangerous accidents.
Blunt blades pose an increased risk of injury because they require more force and tend to slip off the material being cut. Therefore, care should be taken to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. It is also necessary to clean and dry the tool regularly to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. It is recommended to periodically inspect the condition of the handle and blade to detect any cracks, chipping or loosening. If damage is found, the knife should be immediately repaired or replaced with a new copy.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand, avoid talking on the phone or watching TV while slicing, and make sure your work area is well-lit. You are reminded that in some countries or regions there are laws restricting the possession and carrying of knives. Before buying or using a knife, it's a good idea to make sure that using it in your location is allowed under the current law.
Adherence to the above rules will enable safe and efficient use of the knife, minimizing the risk of accidents and ensuring the long life of the tool.
