Just slide your knife any knife, even serrated bread knives between the tungsten carbide guides, drawing it through in one direction for the optimum sharpening angle. This edge-enhancing action extends knives lifetimes, perhaps even by years. Not to mention its compact, 2-1/2-inch frame is super easy to store in a drawer.
