Satake GL050 diamond knife sharpener with angle guide – traditional appearance, modern technology (800 Grit)

Advantages and versatility of the diamond surface

• Extreme durability: Diamond is the hardest material on Earth. The surface coated with diamond particles is incredibly wear-resistant and long-lasting, even under intensive use.
• Fast and efficient: Diamond removes material much faster, allowing you to achieve the desired sharpness in less time.
• Dry use, in any environment: This is one of the biggest advantages! You can use the Satake GL050 dry. No soaking in water required, no mess on the kitchen counter. This makes it usable anywhere, from the kitchen to the campsite, in any environment.
• Versatile application: This sharpener is perfect for both Japanese and European knives. Whether it's a carbon steel or stainless steel blade, the GL050 can handle it.

The sharpening process is exactly the same as the whetstone sharpening process, which you can read about here: https://www.satakeknives.com/vizeskoveselezes One single but important difference: with diamond, no soaking is required!
