Brod & Taylor VG2 Knife Sharpener
3-Action: Hone, Sharpen, Serrated
How is the Brød & Taylor Knife Sharpener different from other sharpeners?
Traditional sharpeners use abrasives that remove metal quickly but leave a rough edge, and fine sharpening stones are difficult to use correctly and slow. The VG2 uses extremely hard sharpening surfaces that can actually cut a smooth bevel quickly.
How often do I need to sharpen a knife?
Knives should be honed (fine sharpened) frequently. Daily honing is best. No metal is removed and keeping the blade sharp actually extends the life of the blade. With frequent honing, you may never need to coarse sharpen your knife.
Do the Professional and Classic models have the same sharpening mechanism?
Yes, both models have the same tungsten carbide sharpening surfaces and patented spring-action bars. The difference is the base material: solid stainless steel or rugged nylon plastic.
How does the sharpener adjust to different blade angles?
The patented spring-action sharpening bars allow the blade to float, and automatically accommodate the natural angle of the knife’s bevel. If you press down harder on the blade, the angle of the bevel will increase.
How often should I hone (fine sharpen) compared to coarse sharpen?
Honing (fine sharpening) can and should be performed often, daily is best. If a knife is honed regularly, it may never get dull enough to require coarse sharpening. Coarse sharpening is generally done only when a blade has become very dull.
