Sharp knives are essential both for precision cooking and kitchen safety. Use the Brentwood TS-1001 2-Stage Electric Knife Sharpener to turn your dull, non-serrated kitchen or sports knives razor sharp in just seconds. 2-stage sharpening includes reshaping the blade profile followed by polishing the edge for effortless slicing. The base secures in place using suction feet. High shoulders safely guide the blade. After you're done, cleanup is easy thanks to the sharpener collecting all excess metal. Remove the 2 caps on the bottom of the unit to easily throw out excess metal..
