Additional manufacturer information:

A practical, compact mini travel sharpener with a camouflage pattern that fits in a pocket.

A revolutionary invention in knife sharpening by the ingenious Austrian inventor Harald Stalleger, combining the excellent sharpening properties of quality honing steels with the convenience of a mechanical sharpener. At the heart of the device are two honing steel blades, each pressed against the other by a spring arm. The two blades do the sharpening, while the spring arms automatically set the correct edge angle. The device can sharpen both serrated and straight-edged knives.

The sharpener has 3 sharpening functions:

1. Fine sharpening: use this function on recently purchased, good-quality knives, where you do not yet want to create a new edge bevel. Hold the sharpener tilted away from you and draw the knife through it. You will notice a small amount of steel swarf (burr) being produced.
2. General sharpening: hold the sharpener horizontally, resting on the table, and draw the knife through it to sharpen. Fine steel particles will come off the blade, showing that the existing edge bevel is being reshaped. This is recommended for good-quality knives that are no longer really sharp.
3. Coarse sharpening: this stage creates a completely new edge bevel. Use this function only on lower-quality knives.
