THE EDGE edcSHARP sharpener was created with everyday use in mind, so its construction is lightweight and durable. The body of the whetstone was made of aircraft-grade aluminum by laser cutting.
The whetstone has a minimalist and modern style enriched with functional additions like a cap opener, clip and hole for a rope or lanyard. THE EDGE edcSHARP can be conveniently carried in a pants pocket, enhanced with a paracord braid, and when we are thirsty open a bottle of our favorite beverage. The comfort of using the sharpener is provided by a thumb hole, which helps in stable grip of the sharpener.
THE EDGE edcSHARP type V, is a whetstone in which the the abrasive surfaces are set at fixed angles of 20° and 25°.These sharpening angles are most commonly used in edc, outdoor and hunting knives, so with one pocket sharpener we can sharpen knives with different purposes. This feature is especially appreciated by those without sharpening experience and users who want to quickly and easily repair a blade in field conditions. The sharpening elements used are triangular ceramic and tungsten plates, which can be easily removed for cleaning. An additional advantage is that when an edge is wiped off or damaged, the plate can be turned over and a new abrasive surface can be used.
EdcSHARP Sharpeners:
Tungsten carbide inserts (coarse), which picks up steel very quickly and aggressively. It is designed for sharpening severely dulled knives and repairing a damaged blade edge. Depending on the hardness scale of the steel, on average it takes about 5-6 passes of the blade to level and improve the cutting edge. 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 tiles (fine) are used for sharpening and smoothing the cutting edge. This plate is dedicated for smoothing the blade after sharpening on a tungsten sharpener and for quick sharpening and keeping the sharpened knife in good condition. Fine ceramic picks up steel much more gently, so sharpening on this type of plate should be done in a slower and more controlled manner.

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.
