KE 198 DOMESTIC ELECTRIC KNIFE SHARPENER

The KE198 is a precision machine designed to last for many, many years. Even relatively inexpensive knives can be brought to razor sharpness – IN SECONDS!

Have you got a drawer full of blunt knives? Are you tired of using a steel to no great effect? Before you buy new knives that will be blunt in a few months, it’s better to review your sharpening system.

A blunt knife is a dangerous knife and can slip easily when preparing food. Sharp knives slice through meat and vegetables with very little pressure and make food preparation a joy. The KE198 is simple, quick and effective and best of all – anyone can use it! You don’t need to be skilled to operate this machine.

How it works

There are two spring loaded grinding wheels (coarse and fine), which apply a controlled pressure to the blade of the knife. The grooves in each section hold the knife at a 15º angle giving you a perfect cutting edge which is impossible when using a steel. The left groove in each section sharpens the right hand side of the knife and the right groove, the left side. The knives are sharpened in the coarse section and polished to a razor finish in the fine. Chefs knives, steak knives, cleavers, and even serrated knives can be sharpened perfectly. *There are special sharpening instructions enclosed with each machine for sharpening Japanese steel knives.
