Knife sharpening angle guide 10 cm, nylon, KAI

Product detailed description

When sharpening, a beginner usually watches the edge, stone, hands and at the same time calculates in their head whether they have already accidentally ruined an expensive japanese knife. The KAI AP-0327 Knife sharpening angle guide takes away at least one worry. It helps guide a symmetrically ground blade at a consistent angle, so some mental capacity can be left for something other than panic.

Main advantages:

• The KAI AP-0327 is a simple tool for sharpening kitchen knives on a sharpening stone, which helps to maintain the blade in a more stable position during individual strokes.
• It is not a standalone sharpener - the AP-0327 is used together with a classic sharpening stone and serves as a support during manual guidance of the knife.
• The tool is designed for symmetrically ground blades, i.e. for knives whose edge is sharpened on both sides.
• For correct use, the blade must have a height of at least 3.5 cm, so it is especially suitable for taller chef's knives, Santoku, Nakiri and other similar shapes.
• The AP-0327 mainly helps users who are just starting out with sharpening on a water stone and want to make it easier to maintain a consistent blade angle.
• During sharpening, the tool is fitted onto the spine of the knife and, during movement on the stone, creates a support point that limits unwanted changes in the blade angle.
• A more stable angle means more even work along the entire length of the edge and reduces the risk of constantly changing the knife angle during individual strokes.
• The tool does not handle the actual sharpening process for you - it is still necessary to guide the blade correctly on the stone, use appropriate pressure and proceed evenly along the entire length of the edge.
• Thanks to its compact dimensions of 10 × 1.6 cm, it takes up a minimum of space and you can easily store it together with sharpening stones and other knife maintenance accessories.
• The body is made of nylon, which creates a lightweight and durable construction suitable for repeated use during sharpening.
• The AP-0327 is particularly suitable as an accessory to classic KAI water sharpening stones, where it can make it easier for beginners to practice guiding the blade correctly.
• You will especially appreciate the AP-0327 if you want to take advantage of the precision of classic sharpening on the stone, but do not yet feel confident in manually maintaining a constant angle.
• The tool is suitable for regular domestic knife maintenance and can also serve as a training aid before you master the correct blade angle without additional support.
• KAI does not just treat blades as a single item in a catalogue - for more than a hundred years it has been developing know-how around cutting edges and, alongside the knives themselves, also offers accessories for their sharpening and long-term maintenance.
