INTENDED USE
Diamond steels sharpen blunt knives easily
in seconds with little pressure applied. They
have an exceptional life span and will sharpen
both professional and domestic type blades.
Unlike a traditional steel which merely re-aligns
the edge (eventually leaving the blade rounded
and blunt) a diamond steel removes material
from the blade in each stroke maintaining a
sharp edge.
Ideal for domestic, butchery, catering and
n
fishing.
Diamond steel tools have a fine grade
n
with 600 grit (nom. 25 micron).
All cutting edges are very sharp and
care must be taken to prevent injury.
Never sharpen blades towards the
hand or body.
