JewelStik 25.4cm Diamond Steel Sharpener

The JewelStik Diamond Knife Sharpener is a classic. For over 30 years, it has been the top - choice for chefs. It features an oval shape and is two - sided, with a diamond surface on both sides. Available in various lengths and widths, the general rule is to choose a sharpener at least as long as your knife blade. The oval - shaped steel makes it easy to maintain an ideal edge angle, usually between 18 and 22 degrees. This particular model measures 25.4cm x 1.27cm and comes with a traditional black handle. What's more, it's fully manufactured, assembled, and packaged in the USA.

Using your JewelStik Diamond Knife Sharpener is easy. First, hold the sharpener firmly by the black handle. Place the blade of your knife at a 18 - 22 degree angle on the diamond surface. Then, draw the knife along the sharpener from the base of the blade to the tip, applying gentle pressure. Do this several times on each side of the blade. Remember, always use a cutting board to protect the sharpener and your countertops. When not in use, store it in a dry place to prevent rust. If it gets dirty, simply wipe it with a clean, dry cloth. With proper use and care, your JewelStik sharpener will keep your knives in top - notch condition for years to come.
