The
Tri-Angle Sharpmaker (204MF) includes two sets of high alumina ceramic
stones: A pair of medium-grit (brown) 7" x .5" (178mm x 13mm) stones
for aggressive sharpening and a set of fine (white) 7" x .5" (178mm x
13mm) stones for professional grade finishing. The stones are
triangular for sharpening Plainedges on the flat sides and SpyderEdges
(serrations) on the corners. A furrow running the length of each stone
lets you sharpen pointed items like fishhooks, darts and awls. Included
is a set of brass safety rods protecting the users hands while
sharpening. All components snap into the self-contained ABS plastic
base and lid -- ready to travel with you. Die-cut into the base are
keyed slots and holes fitted for the stones. They accurately set the
stone's sharpening angle at a 30° (15° each side) or 40°
(20° each side) for knives and a 12.5°scissor setting. Turn the
base over, a channel lets you lay two stones side-by-side (flat-side
up) for use as a benchstone. The lid snaps halfway over the base
creating a handhold for stability while you're sharpening. Included is
a set of brass safety rods to protect the users hands while sharpening.
Ceramic stones, like glass, will break if dropped -- handle carefully.
Use
them dry, without oil, water or lubricants.
To clean: scrub stones with a plastic scouring pad and powered abrasive
cleaner, let air-dry.
Also autoclave safe. System comes with instruction book and DVD.
