What Is Guided Sharpening?
Guided Knife Sharpening is a method of sharpening knives in which the user uses a guide or jig to help maintain a consistent angle while sharpening. This can make the sharpening process easier and more precise, especially for someone who is new to sharpening knives.
The guide will typically have a clamp that the knife can be inserted into and secured in place, then and angle adjustment is made to an exact position. A guided knife sharpener is a great tool for those who want precision and accuracy when sharpening their knives. One of the key benefits of using a guided sharpener is that it allows for very precise angle control, often with an accuracy of 0.10 of a degree.
This level of precision is difficult to achieve when freehand sharpening, and can make a significant difference in the sharpness and overall quality of the edge. Additionally, because the guide is doing the work of maintaining the angle for you, it can make the sharpening process less physically demanding and easier to control. This makes it an ideal option for people who want a professional edge on their knives but do not want to learn the technique of freehand sharpening.
