Kai manual Knife Sharpener for asymmetrical blades

Sharpen knives with one-sided cutting edges with ease, thanks to this Kai manualsharpener!

Typically Japanese knives such as yanagiba and deba require special sharpening. Indeed, the cutting edge of these knives is asymmetrical: they are generally sharpened on one side only(the right side, except for knives designed for left-handed use). This can make sharpening difficult, especially for novices! To make your life easier, Kai has created a special sharpener for your asymmetrical blades.

The first slot is made of 270 grit diamond stone, a thick grit to recreate the edge grain. The second slot is made up of 150 and 1000 grit ceramic wheels, for optimum sharpening of the blade, then the 3rd slot is made up of 1000 grit ceramic rods to finish off the sharpening smoothly. After passing the blade several times through each sharpening module, your knives will have regained a real cutting edge.

Please note that this sharpener is not suitable for symmetrical blades such as chef's knives, paring knives, santoku knives, etc.

This sharpener has been specially designed for you, so you can restore the sharpness of your one-sided Japanese knives!
