Review on πŸ”ͺ Dual Medium DIAMOND SHARPENING STONE by Jerry Mangum

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The only way to sharpen a ceramic knife but great for all knives and scissors, my electric razor with titanium blades

Although ceramic knives are initially sharp, they too dull after long use as your favorite knife. Knives have a flat blank profile, are hollow and sharpened at a slight angle to create a sharpenable area (usually 1/4 to 1/3 of the blade height can be sharpened, giving it many years of use due to this hollow sharpening). The actual sharp edge is at the bottom of the hollow part of the earth and is much steeper. angle to the surface of the blades. Try to duplicate the angle by making light strokes along the length of the blade and note if you just "shine" the top or bottom of the previously sharpened area. Tilt the sharpener and try again until you match the angle that was there and light either the center or the top and bottom at the same time. Continue until the full width of the original area is glossy. For scissors, rub the inner flat sides of the blades that rub together when the scissors close to remove nicks and burrs. again shine evenly across the entire width of this side of the blade. If a part shines first, adjust the sharpening angle. To finish the scissors, find an angle (not a straight line) that was at the original top of the blade and sharpen the top of each blade at that angle, leaving the entire top shiny. I use an electric razor with straight (non-rotating) titanium blades. With the screen off and the shaver on, gently rub the blades with the blades once a month. Holds blades like new!

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
