Frequently Asked Questions
Which slot should I use? Use the coarse slot for a dull edge and finish with the fine ceramic slot for regular maintenance.
Does the holder work on meat? Yes, the holder is effective for keeping meat steady while slicing, and the prongs can also be used for tenderizing.
Can it sharpen serrated knives? This tool sharpens both straight and serrated blades. However, we recommend touching up serrated knives one tooth at a time with a tapered rod. For straight edges, the pull-through slots work perfectly.
