What does it do?

Makes knife, hook and tool sharpening a snap.

What sets it apart?

The blade-sharpening system was created with simplicity and consistency in mind, and it can be used to sharpen every knife you own. The innovative Pivot-Response System follows the curve of the blade while sharpening it entirely—it almost reads the edge for you. They say, “The skill is built into the tool. No jigs. No clamps. No nonsense.”

How do I use it?

You can choose how to sharpen a knife, based on your skill level and the type of blade you want to sharpen. The Pivot-Response can be locked-out, creating a traditional sharpening surface for straight blades, or engaged to evenly sharpen curved blades—without changing the sharpening motion. Finely and accurately sharpening a knife is an art that takes practice, but this tool literally does most of the work for you, and will help hone your skills as a blade sharpener.
