## Questions & Answers

**Q: What angle does this sharpen the blade to?**
A: I believe it's 22/23 degrees.  I love this for all my knives.

**Q: How many strokes through each slot?**
A: That depends on how dull you let your blades get. I steel my knives every other time I use them, so I only need to pass the blade (gently) through each slot 3 to 5 times. My KAI knives never let me down.

**Q: For best results, should the knife blade be 'sawn' back and forth or drawn repeated times in one direction only through the slot?**
A: According to the manufacturer's advise, the knife blade should be drawn repeated times in one direction only. Precisely speaking, from the end of hand holding part toward to the person holding the knife. Below is a video made by the manufacturer demonstrating how to sharpen a knife by using this sharpener:

**Q: Is this sharpener made in Japan?**
A: Yes. This product is made in Japan.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Increíble pero funciona incluido acero VG10, todos probados anteriormente solo sirven de pisapapeles
*by A***3 on 28 June 2026*

Soy muy aficionado a cuchillos, a los acero con lo que se fabrican, tipos de filos, etc... tengo piedras japonesas de afilar y la piedra para alisar la piedra de afilar y este afilador tan sencillo es el primero que encuentro en mi vida que funciona realmente bien OJO! hay dos versiones para cuchillos de doble filo (como europeos) y filo solo en un lado (como los japoneses mas tradicionales)
