The Work Sharp E3 electric kitchen knife sharpener is a complete kitchen knife sharpening solution for today's kitchens. The E3 includes a 2-Speed electric sharpener for sharpening and refining edges, plus a 2-Stage ceramic honing rod. Based on traditional belt sharpening practices, the E3 creates a sharp- as-new edge the same way manufacturers sharpen knives at the factory. Precision sharpening guides, continuous speeds, and high-performance sharpening belts make the E3 knife sharpener easy, clean, and gentle on knives. Then just a few strokes along the honing rod before prepping your ingredients and your knives are ready to go. Honing preserves the cutting effectiveness of your knives, and extends intervals between sharpening. Maintaining your edges preserves the value of your cutlery, and lets you continue to enjoy the art of cooking! Work Sharp culinary is dedicated to supporting our customers. We are happy to answer any questions regarding our kitchen knife sharpeners and any questions you may have about keeping your knives sharp as new.
