In addition to the main sharpening function THE EDGE bushSHARP offers us 2 additional solutions. The sharpener has a built-in rescue whistle for calling for help in case of an accident or getting lost in the field, and a retractable flint that allows you to light a fire regardless of the weather conditions.
Despite its compact size, the sharpener has as many as 3 sharpening zones:
- unscrewable diamond rod for sharpening smooth and serrated knives, fishing hooks and skinning blades (gut hook)
- v sharpener with ceramic rods for fast sharpening and polishing of the blade
- v-sharpener made of tungsten carbide for sharpening scissors and severely dulled cutting edges
Diamond rod allows you to sharpen knives with smooth and serrated cutting edge. The tapered shape of the rod means that we can match its thickness exactly to the size of the blade teeth. At the base of the rod there is a a groove, which is used for sharpening fishing hooks and hunting knives with skinning hook.
To sharpen a knife with a V-shaped whetstone, experience and special techniques are not required. All you have to do is pull the blade through the sharpening slot from the root to the tip until the desired sharpness is achieved. Tungsten carbide sharpener sharpens not only knives, but also household scissors. Carbide picks up steel very strongly, so be careful not to press too hard on the knife/scissors when sharpening. Gentle strokes are sufficient.
Ceramic sharpener with fine gradation is used to quickly sharpen and smooth the cutting edge of a knife.
With the help of the EDGE bushSHARP sharpener you can quickly and easily sharpen knives on camping, hunting or fishing trips, but also scissors and kitchen knives in any household. The pocket size of the EDGE bushSHARP sharpener allows it to be carried daily in a pocket or as a key ring.
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.
