Maintain the life of your quality scanpan knives with this knife sharpener that intricately sharpens using three separate built-in plates. The tungsten plate removes small burrs and nicks on the knife blade creating a smooth overall surface for further sharpening. The diamond plate creates a finer edge preparing the surface for the final stage of sharpening where the ceramic plate creates a razor sharp edge by polishing the blade to a very fine point. While this sounds like a complicated process it features an easy grip handle so you can rest the device securely on the benchtop and simply glide through each sharpening stage with just a slight amount of pressure.
