Boker Knives: Boker Vulkanus Knife Sharpener, BK-HS1
The illustrated Boker Knife Sharpener is the Boker Vulkanus Sharpener, designed by Harold Stallegger, that features spring loaded rods that adjust to the edge of the knife blade. The stainless steel frame of this Boker knife sharpener holds the rods in an X shape configuration, and the rods have ceramic carbide flats for sharpening.
Paraphrased from the Vulkanus Website: The flats are made of sintered metal that is molded to the right shape in powder form, grouted under high pressure and then baked at very high temperatures in a furnace. The special granularity, temperature pressure and right kind of alloy result in a ceramic-like texture. This procedure results in particularly tough sharpening flats with ductile edges guaranteeing a long durability.
Sharpening a knife with the Boker Vulkanus knife sharpener is a three step process: Sharpening, Honing and Polishing.
For Sharpening: place the knife blade between the sharpening rods. Tilt the point of the blade downward while pulling the blade through from the handle to the point. Apply light downward pressure to the blade. Do not twist or turn the blade.
For Honing (fine sharpening): place the knife blade between the sharpening rods. Tilt the point of the blade upward while pulling the blade through from the handle to the point. Do not twist or turn the blade.
For Polishing: place the knife blade between the sharpening rods. Do not tilt the blade. Pull the blade horizontally through from the handle to the point. Do not twist or turn the blade.
For Sharpening Serrations: place the knife blade between the sharpening rods. Do not tilt the blade. Pull the blade horizontally through from the handle to the point while applying lateral pressure in the direction of the serrated edge.
Vulkanus Sharpener only, knife not included.
