Knife Wizard Domestic Electric Knife Sharpener Ref: KE198

The Knife Wizard KE198 is simple, quick and effective and best of all – anyone can use it! You don’t need to be skilled to operate this machine.

A blunt knife is a dangerous knife and can slip easily when preparing food. Sharp knives slice through meat and vegetables with very little pressure and make food preparation a joy.

Even relatively inexpensive knives can be bought to razor sharpness IN SECONDS! with the Knife Wizard KE198.

How it works - There are two spring loaded grinding wheels (coarse and fine), which apply a controlled pressure to the blade of the knife. The grooves in each section hold the knife at a 15º angle giving you a perfect cutting edge which is impossible when using a steel. The left groove in each section sharpens the right hand side of the knife and the right groove, the left side. The knives are sharpened in the coarse section and polished to a razor finish in the fine.

Chefs knives, steak knives, cleavers, and even serrated knives can be sharpened perfectly.

Knife Wizard Professional Electric Knife Sharpener Ref: KE3000

The KE-3000 will sharpen virtually any knife straight, curved, serrated and exotic Japanese steel knives to as new or better standard.

The KE-3000 utilizes the same patented cushion contact system as the KE-280 producing the razor sharp and POLISHED edge finish which no other system can match but using a lighter frame, motor and transmission than it’s larger brother, the KE-280.

The KE-3000 is ideal for an individual professional chef or simply a private individual, maybe a keen amateur chef, who wishes achieve the ultimate cutting edge their knives can achieve (it is a fact that the better the quality of the cutting edge steel, the better the ultimate finished edge)

Each machine is equipped with a pair of fine abrasive belts. Once these belts have worn down (about 50 to 60 knife sharpenings) you can turn the belts around and use the other width. Other abrasives available are medium grit depending on the steel quality and condition of your knife. i.e. starting with medium and finishing your sharpening with fine abrasives.

Knife Wizard Commercial Electric Knife Sharpener Ref: KE280

The KE280 is a totally new concept in commercial knife sharpening featuring a patented cushion contact system, which not only produces edges sharper than when the knife was new, but also creates a polished finish - eliminating the need for honing."

How the 280 Knife Sharpener works...

There are 2 closed-cell rubber covered wheels, each carrying endless abrasive rolls. The left wheel sharpens the left side of the blade and the right wheel, the right side.

The drive motor produces enormous torque (see tech info) which allows the use of fine abrasive this, together with the cushion contact system produces a razor sharp smooth cutting edge which does not require honing on a steel.

During sharpening, the knife is supported at the correct angle by the check plates. Cleaning and replacement of the abrasives is simplicity itself, taking less than 1 minute. Other than this, there is no maintenance required.

Virtually all knives and most cleavers can be bought to razor sharpness by an unskilled operator in seconds.

Japanese steel knives can be sharpened perfectly on the KE280. Special sharpening instructions are enclosed with each machine
