Details

The finely tuned grit of the sharpening rod is the ideal compromise between maximum sharpening performance and minimal material removal. This keeps your knife sharp while treating it as gently as possible. Drawing the blade across the rod removes fine irregularities such as burrs, flat spots and micro chips. The edge is brought back to zero and its sharpness is restored.

Use

Stand EDGY lengthwise, pointing away from your body. Starting at the ricasso (near your fingers), draw the blade away from your body to the tip. Sharpen dry, without water or oil. It works best to alternate between both sides of the blade. Depending on the condition of the blade, a few strokes are often enough for an optimal cutting experience.

Care

Over time, the modern ceramic sharpening rod picks up the abrasion from the blades and can simply be rotated further. Once it is completely covered after long use, remove the coarse residue with dish soap and a sponge. A hard eraser (artist’s or ink eraser) also gives very good results. Keep the rubber feet on the underside free of grease and dust (for example flour) and clean them if they get dirty, so EDGY stays stable.

The housing has a high quality powder coating and withstands contact with acidic foods. It can be washed by hand and dried. Avoid temperatures above 60 °C.
