Sharpening System PRO

keenmatic PRO Sharpening System Manual sharpening on whetstones can deliver excellent results. However, keeping the sharpening angle constant by hand requires a lot of practice and skill. The keenmatic PRO is the advanced version of our guided sharpening system. It uses the same proven kinematics for a constant angle as the base model, but expands its capabilities with stepless adjustability, pressure relief, and a larger format.

Functionality and Performance The PRO system combines the process of hand sharpening with precise angle control. Here, all key variables in the sharpening process can be individually adjusted:

• Unlimited angle control: The guide mechanism allows for a steplessly adjustable sharpening angle from 0° to 30°. This ensures that you can exactly match an existing factory edge or establish a custom geometry, regardless of the blade's profile.

• Pressure relief: Polishing and final deburring of the edge are best done with minimal pressure. The PRO integrates a spring-based sharpening pressure relief that actively counteracts the weight of the blade. This allows you to sharpen with a contact pressure that is less than the dead weight of the knife.

• Independence from abrasives: Like the CORE, the PRO system also guides the blade instead of the abrasive. This means any standard sharpening stone can be used. Non-rectangular stones, such as irregularly shaped natural stones, can also be used on the base plate.

Features The keenmatic PRO features high-quality materials and expanded adjustability to individually optimize the sharpening process:

• Stepless adjustment & quick-adjust gauge: The angle can be steplessly adjusted from 0-30°. To do this, simply turn the knurled screw. For quick setup, the included setting gauge enables immediate and repeatable fixation to the most common kitchen knife angles: 10°, 15°, 17.5°, 20°, and 25°.

• Expanded blade compatibility: Thanks to the larger overall frame, the PRO is perfectly suited for oversized chef's knives, long slicers, and carving knives with a blade length of over 30 cm, without compromising on stability.

• Solid HPL base plate: The entire system is built on a robust, waterproof base plate made of high-pressure laminate (HPL). This ensures maximum rigidity and prevents water or grinding dust from reaching the workspace.

• Compact storage & tool-free disassembly: Despite its expanded capacity, the PRO is designed for practical use in the kitchen. The system can be disassembled without tools. This allows it to be quickly and compactly stowed away, fitting easily into any standard kitchen cabinet.
