Compact Electric Knife Sharpener
Smith's is proud to offer an easy to use and effective electric knife sharpener that incorporates
both mechanical and manual sharpening elements in one compact unit. This unique combination
provides a broad capability to easily sharpen dull blades and maintain razor sharp edges.
The mechanical sharpening slots feature a synthetic sharpening wheel and blade guides to hold
your knife at the correct angle during electric sharpening. The bonded synthetic materials used
to make the sharpening wheel are selected for their ability to guarantee longer wheel life, uniform
cutting, and minimum heat build up so that detempering of your blade does not occur.
After sharpening both sides of your blade with the synthetic sharpening wheel, Smith's
recommends using the crossed ceramic rods in the manual finishing slot for final edge honing.
Crossed ceramic rods create a preset sharpening angle that lightly hones both sides of your
blade at the same time. Ceramic rods remove any burrs left on your blade from electric
sharpening and put a razor sharp edge on your blade. They can also be used for a quick touch
up of an already sharp blade.
Your Edge Pro Compact Electric Knife Sharpener will sharpen knives of alloy, carbon, or stainless
steel. It is designed to sharpen kitchen and most sporting knives. Do not attempt to sharpen
scissors, serrated blades, or any blade that does not fit freely in the blade guides. Listed below
are the unique features that set our sharpener apart from other electric knife sharpeners.

HOW TO USE
Electric Sharpening
1. Clean all food or dirt off your blade. Never sharpen a dirty knife blade as this could cause the sharpener
to malfunction or damage to the sharpening wheel.
2. Insert the plug on the end of the power cord into a standard 120 volt electrical outlet. Connect the other
end of the power cord into the end of the sharpener.
3. Place the unit on a flat, sturdy surface and turn the unit ON by pressing the ON/OFF switch.
You will notice two sharpening slots for mechanical sharpening, one for each side of your blade.
Select the sharpening slot you would like to use first.
4. Hold the knife securely by the handle as you would in normal usage and position the heel of the blade
over the selected sharpening slot. Insert the blade into the upper portion of the sharpening slot then
rotate the handle of the knife down (slightly raising the tip of the blade) until the heel of the blade
contacts the sharpening wheel (Fig. 1 on previous page). As soon as contact is made and you hear
the distinctive grinding sound, pull the blade at a consistent speed through the sharpening slot using
light, downward pressure. To sharpen all the way out to the tip of the blade, lift up on the knife handle
slightly as the curved portion of the blade is drawn through the blade guides.
NOTE: Due to some handle designs, you may not be
able to sharpen the entire length of the blade using the
mechanical sharpening wheel. Smith's recommends us-
ing the manual sharpening slots in these limited cases.
CAUTION:
Always sharpen your knife blade from the heel to the tip of the blade.
Never insert the tip of the knife blade into the blade guide first or push your knife blade
through the sharpening slot. This could damage the knife sharpener and/or your knife.
