Wusthof Ikon 2-Stage Knife Sharpener

Safe and easy to use, this Wusthof 2 Stage Knife Sharpener requires nothing but a few easy strokes to keep blades sharp.

The first stage is carbide (coarse) and sharpens dull edges. The second stage is ceramic (fine) and provides a polished, razor sharp edge. A reasonably sharp knife may only require this light honing. 

To Use

1. Place sharpener on a flat work surface. Hold the sharpener with one hand as indicated and the knife handle with the other. Insert knife blade fully into the slot at a 90 degree angle to the sharpener.
2. Apply moderate downward pressure on the blade while pulling the knife toward you through the appropriate notch.
3. Repeat this action, always pulling the blade from heel to tip (never back and forth) through either the carbide or the ceramic notch.

Notes

• 2 stage knife sharpening 
• Can be used for serrated and scalloped edges (ceramic fine stage only)
• Soft grip handle
