It features a 600-grit fine-grained diamond wheel for sharpening, and a higher-grit honing wheel with an integrated polishing agent to remove burrs and polish edges to a razor finish. It has a jig with an adjustable angle setter, so you can set the exact degree in which you want to sharpen your knife (from 8° to 22°). (Western knives tend to be sharpened at 20° while Japanese knives tend to be sharpened at 15°; the original sharpening angle of your knife can be confirmed with the knife's manufacturer.) Operating at a slow 120 RPM, the T-1 guarantees a gentle and controlled process as the knife is guided against the wheel, making it \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003emuch easier to maintain a consistent angle than freehand sharpening.
