Manual Knife Sharpener

A manual knife sharpener is a handheld device designed to restore the edge of dull or damaged knives through abrasive surfaces or honing rods, typically featuring slots with abrasive materials like tungsten carbide or ceramic. To use, you draw the blade through the designated slots at a consistent angle, often 20 degrees, to sharpen and hone the blade's edge effectively. Manual sharpeners are favored for their portability, ease of use, and affordability, making them suitable for maintaining kitchen knives, outdoor tools, and other blades, but they require some skill to achieve optimal results without damaging the blade.
