[Just Draw the Knife Forward] Using just the weight of the knife, lightly draw it forward through the sharpener a few times to easily revive its cutting edge.

[Sharpens Ceramic Knives] Diamond is harder than ceramic, so it can sharpen not only metal knives (stainless steel, steel, titanium steel) but also Kyocera ceramic knives.
[Materials] Whetstone: Industrial diamond; Body: ABS resin (heat resistant temperature: 158°F (70°C)), polyacetal (heat resistance: 212°F(100°C)); Other Parts: stainless steel, thermoplastic elastomer (heat resistance: 230°F (110°C)).
[Sharpens Vertically, Just Like Traditional Plate Whetstones] The diamond whetstone rotates, grinding the blade’s edge in a vertical direction, similar to a traditional whetstone.The keenness of a cutting edge sharpened with vertical sharpening lasts longer than one achieved with a horizontal sharpening method.
By utilizing a diamond whetstone, this sharpener can also be used with Kyocera’s ceramic knives.
