Taidea Rolling Knife Sharpener with 360-6000 grit stones

TAIDEA Rolling Sharpening set with Sharpening Stones

Easy to use set that gives professional results, includes full set of stones from 360-6000 grit.

Very clever system where the knife is held at a constant angle.

You simply roll the sharpening stone back and forth over the edge until the knife is sharp.

How to use:

• knife is held on the magnetic angle stand, edge up
• Use 22 degree angle for all normal kitchen and outdoor knives
• The roller has 2 sides, each with a sharpening stone
• Start with the coarsest stone 360 grit (silver colour)
• Roll from the heel to the tip with light pressure
• Go 10 times one side before flipping the knife around and doing the other side
• Go back and forth until you feel a burr*
• Swap stone to finer grit, do 20 passes each side and change grit again

When done, wash the knife with hot water and soap, before testing the sharpness by slicing paper or a tomato.

A burr is the tinfoil like sliver of steel that can be seen and felt when the two sides of the edge meet. The side you are working on will fold over to the other side, creating the burr. 

If you stop sharpening before getting a burr, the two sides have not met in an actual edge, there is a tiny flat section still between the two sides of the knife (and it is not sharp).

This system is popular due to ease of use, and the included stones will give a mirror edge that is razor sharp.

Includes stones are used in order from low to high number, starting with the 360 grit and ending with the super fine 6000 grit stone.
