With V-Sharp A4, V-Sharp A4 ELITE, V-Sharp CLASSIC II, dem V-Sharp CLASSIC II ELITE sowie dem V-Sharp XTREME EDGE the sanding units are attached to the upper end and can be easily removed by hand or with the tip of a knife. If you want to use a sanding unit with a different grit, you can quickly replace it.
The V-Sharp Curve is the only knife sharpener from Warthog that does not offer this option, as the two 325 grinding units are permanently installed here.

Constant grinding angle
The secret of a perfectly ground blade is the always constant grinding angle.
This sharpens the blade on both sides, keeps it sharp longer and ensures minimal material removal.
All Warthog knife sharpeners have a blade guide that guides the knife precisely along the sharpening stones.
Other knife sharpeners damage the blade or wear it down unevenly and as a result the sharpness is not maintained for long and the knife needs to be re-sharpened more quickly.

325 grit:
Coarse - Perfect for a very blunt blade. The coarse grit removes a lot of material and quickly evens out any unevenness in the blade. Well suited for many blades, especially for work knives and for private use.
600 grit:
Medium - Best suited for an already sharpened blade. Gives the blade an even sharper edge. For finer blades and finer work. The blade sharpness does not last as long as a coarser ground blade.
1000 grit:
Fine - For maximum blade sharpness. The very fine grit allows the blade to be ground very sharp. Perfect for Japanese knives and very delicate cuts.
Yes, the V-Sharp A4, V-Sharp A4 ELITE, V-Sharp CLASSIC II und dem V-Sharp CLASSIC II ELITE can also be used to sharpen serrated knives (e.g. bread knives).
For knives with a serrated edge on one side:
Here, the angle is set to 30° on the side of the serration and 20° on the other side. Then go through each individual serration and move the knife up and down 10-15 times.
However, the separately available ceramic grinding units are required for this.
