SHARPAL Diamond Sharpener-the fastest and most effective way to sharpen an edge!Use and Care
There is a ‘break-in’ period for diamond sharpeners. When first use, the surface will appear to be especially rough. This roughness is due to the final manufacturing process and will be removed over time without impacting performance. As the diamond surface wears down, more and more diamond grits are exposed and the sharpener cuts faster.
- Sharpen dry. No messy oil needed
- Initial break-in
- Rough work – coarser grit; Fine work – finer grit
- Clean surface and wipe DRY
- Store DRY
Key Features
Dual Grit
- Coarse 325 grit (45 micron)- Quickly sharpen and repair dull or damaged edge
- Extra fine 1200 grit (9 micron)-Finely hone, polish and remove burrs for an already sharp edge.
Solid Handle
- Comfortable ergonomic design
- Skid resistance
Stainless Steel Base

Monocrystalline Diamond
- The common market uses Polycrystalline Diamond, a fragmented compound, which shatters off a new face after each sharpening, thus it wears away rapidly.
- SHARPAL uses Monocrystalline Diamond, a single structure that does not break with use for exceptional durability and lifespan.

How to Use
1. Select the appropriate diamond side based on the condition of your blade.
2. Place your blade on the heel of the diamond sharpener at the desired sharpening angle andPUSHthe bladeAWAYfrom you like you are trying to carve a thin slice off the top of the diamond surface. (See Fig. 1). Repeat this PUSHING stroke several times. Remember to hold the angle as you push and try to maintain a consistent sharpening angle with each stroke. This is the key to obtaining the sharpest cutting edge.
3. Now sharpen the other side of the blade by placing your blade on the end of the diamond sharpener.PULLthe bladeTOWARDyou like you are trying to carve a thin slice off the top of the diamond surface. Let the tip come off the edge of the diamond sharpener. (See Fig. 2) Repeat this PULLING stroke the same number of times as you did on the opposite side of your blade.
4. Continue sharpening both sides of your blade until you feel that your blade is truly sharp. If you started with Coarse 325 grit (45 micron) side, move to 1200 grit (9 micron) side, repeating the sharpening process. If your knife blade or tools to be sharpened merely need a touch-up or dressed edge, use only the 1200 grit (9 micron) side.
