Brusek Deluxe Turn Box Crock Lansky® 4 tyčinky

Turn box is a very stable and compact knife sharpening system. It works well in the kitchen and can be easily stored in a drawer. Turn Box is also great for outdoor enthusiasts, because it is lightweight and can be easily stored in a backpack. It only takes a few strikes to maintain an edge (a bit more if your knife is really dull). The system is therefore perfect not only for kitchen knives, but also for outdoor - hunting knives. Turn Box includes pair of grey rods of medium grit (600) and pair of white rods of fine grit (1000). All rods are ceramic, 5" long and stored in a rod storage on a side. The base/turnbox is from hardwood.

Pre-set rod angles for a precise edge 

20° - fine angle for slicing, butcher and skinning knives 
25° - medium angle for hunting, outdoor and chef´s knives 

Instructions for use 

Master´s Edge can be used for 1 stage and 2 stage sharpening. The round grey rods are for sharpening and the round white rods are for polishing. 

Start - place a Master´s Edge on a stable and flat surface at a comfortable working height.   

1 Stage sharpening 

Step 1 - open the hand guard to expose the labeled guide holes. Then choose the rods and the angle you wish to sharpen ( 20° or 25°), place the sharpening rods into the appropriate guide holes.
Step 2 - hold the base firmly with your non-dominate hand. Make sure that your hand and thumb are under the hand guard. 
Step 3 - hold the knife in the dominate hand and place the heel of the blade (closest to the handle) 2,5 cm or more below the top of one of the rods. 
Step 4 - hold the blade straight up, perpendicular to the ground, draw the blade down the rod and towards you. Similar motion when slicing a bread. 
Step 5 - repeat the action on the other rod.
Step 6 - continue in rod alternation (steps 3, 4 and 5)until you achieve desired sharpness. 10 - 20 strokes per each side should be sufficient. 

2 Stage Sharpening 

Step 1 - follow the set up and safety instructions found in the instructions above. Start by placing the rods in the 20° angle holes and follow the instructions for sharpening as listed above, but use only 10 - 12 strokes on each rod. This is to thin the edge. 
Step 2 - move the rods to the 25° angle holes for the 2nd stage sharpening to finish it. Simply follow the same technique used before. This will produce sharp and durable compound bevel.

Pro-tip: For the best results use light pressure when sharpening and avoid rolling the tip of your knife off the rod. This could damage the tip, leave it duller then the rest of the blade. We recommend patience and slow, careful approach. 

Note: Over time the metal particles appears in the rod as dark lines, making it less efficient. When that happen, rotate it to expose unused areas. When the rods get black all around, they must be cleaned with Lansky EraserBlock or with kitchen cleanser. 

Caution: The rods will not wear with sharpening or cleaning (scrubbing), they are tough and durable, but because they are ceramic, they can break if dropped on a hard surface. Therefore handle with care. 

Alternative: Also available is Turn Box with 2 diamond rods and 2 ceramic rods. More expensive, but also more comfortable option represents Master´s Edge sharpening system.
