Remember, sharp knives in your kitchen give you these advantages
Less stress and strain on your hands, wrists and arms
Less waste of food, with more precise cuts
Safer to use, as the high cutting pressures needed by blunt knives can easily slip and cause injury
And a pleasure to use !
After 56 years of manufacturing sharpening machines for knife makers and commercial knife users, CATRA, the World’s leading knife technology business has launched a domestic electric knife sharpening machine. Designed to the same exacting standards as our larger machines, the CATRAHONE Diamond Power sharpener provides the home and very light duty commercial user with high quality sharpening to near factory levels of sharpness.
Using a simple yet effective principle the unit provides the user with three operating slots
~1 for very worn blades that need edge reformation
~2 for every day sharpening of most blades
~3 for that final super smooth hone after using slots 1 and 2
By use of the special cool sharpening technology, the sharpener does not need water cooling and yet does not over heat the cutting edge, unlike other dry sharpeners, providing you with the maximum edge life for you blades, up to 100% more life than some other electric power sharpeners.
The optimum cutting geometry is permanently set at 34° and won’t change with use, thereby not requiring any adjustment. Regularly sharpened plain edge knives on this machine are so sharp that they can slice bread better than a serrated or scalloped bread knife, leaving virtually no crumbs, creating a really smooth slice with the minimum of effort.
Powered by a mains adaptor (universal voltage with internationally adaptable plug.) the sharpener runs on a safe 24V DC current which means there is no risk of electric shock from using the unit.
