Despite its name, this tool doesn’t actually sharpen a knife. It is an alternative choice to a knife, or “butcher,” steel. Like a steel, it performs the essential task of realigning, or “resetting,” a knife’s edge, which bends this way and that when contacting a cutting surface or other hard object. Because it employs steel and ceramic wheels to do the work on a knife’s edge, it might probably grind a bit of steel off the blade. But that’s more a polishing, or honing, than an actual sharpening. It is simple To make use of: grab the curved grip with the left hand–left-handers will have to do it this way, too–and draw a knife through a V-shaped slot toward the body with the right hand. –Fred Brack
