Suehiro ceramic disc sharpener for single-bevel blades

Nearly all Western knives have a double-bevel cutting edge, which is angled on both sides to give a V-shape to the tip of the blade. Traditionally, many Japanese knives, especially those used for preparing sushi and sashimi, have single-bevel blades, in which the blade edge is angled on the right side only. This sharpener is designed especially for single-bevel blades. Very simple to use, as the discs are set to automatically give the correct angle, and indispensable for anyone who wants to be able to maintain the edge on single-bevel blades without mastering the use of a whetstone.
