Deglon Oval Diamond Steel Knife Sharpener, 10-Inch

By

Make no mistake there is nothing subtle about this tool. It literally shaves a metal layer with each pass. This tool is good for really dull generic knifes or heavy duty butcher knives, don't use it on damascus knives or any high-end brands. Still I like easiness of bringing really dull knife into shape with Deglon Oval Diamond Steel Knife Sharpener, a few strokes and the knife … [Read more...] about Deglon Oval Diamond Steel Knife Sharpener, 10-Inch

Wakoli 1DM-SAN-MIK Santoku Damascus Knife, Japanese Damascus Steel VG-10, Mikata Handle
