SELECTOOL automatically aligns the blade according to its native angle. Any kind of edge, any kind of where - Knife, Axe, Razor Blade, or Mower Blade.

Put the blade in the notch, TURN THE TOOL until it stops, and the native angle is precisely aligned for every stroke.

The SELECTOOL adapts to the pressure you use. 

• Light pressure - blades that are already fairly sharp and just need a touch up.
• Medium pressure - edges that need metal removed to bring them up to speed.
• Heavy pressure - very dull blades that are worn down and require a lot of metal removal.

The SELECTOOL sharpens serrated knives quickly and easily

.Brush the tips through the side Knife Guide, and they will sharpen instantly.

Serrated edges have tiny teeth that get dull, bent out of shape, and worn down. By brushing these teeth lightly through the Side Guide, (two little round inserts,) each tooth gets straightened and tightened, producing a much sharper serrated knife in seconds.

The SELECTOOL sharpens everything. (If you can get to it, you can sharpen it.)

The SELECTOOL sharpens fast and safe, and most dull knives get sharpened quickly. 

But - 

• Some blades are worn out and cannot regain their original edge geometry. 
• Some knives have very poor blade steel and can never get but so sharp.
• Some very dull blades need a file or heavy grit stone to rough in a basic edge shape.

The SELECTOOL lets you quickly see what you need.

It is are made of a hardened alloy that sharpens virtually all blade steels you will encounter. 

It has three holes and two positions

• The End Holes are for knives and smaller blades. 
  (Use either end of the insert to get the most use.)

• The Middle Hole is for tools. 
  (Extend the insert to the middle hole to sharpen tools.)

The insert is adjustable, and can be extended to the middle hole for tool sharpening.

Freshen the insert if the sharpener doesn't seem to be cutting like it used to, 

• Loosen the screw
• Rap it sharply with pliers to loosen the insert
• Pull it a tiny bit to get a new spot.
