About this model

Designed to fit a 180 x 60 x 15mm sharpening stone. Also solve the sliding issue from the original design. The sharpening angle is 16 degrees, meaning is razor like sharp. Be careful! I tested in my japanese knife and i have blown away by the results! I was sharpening all these years without any helper, and it turns out i never managed to get a good angle. This device did in the first try! One thing i was worry about the design is that plastic on plastic, it wouldn't slide well. After testing is i can verify that this is not the case. When is yet with water is super slippery and therefore a non issue.
