Arcos Hermanos (Albacete) directions on how to use this sharpener

When a knife is sharp it has tiny microscopic teeth along the cutting edge. With use, these teeth and the edge become smoother and the blade gets dull. To keep a knife blade in good condition, first you must sharpen and then shape the edge.

Sharpening consists of removing a small amount of metal from the edge to leave a polished, even surface.

Shaping "redraws" those tiny teeth on the cutting edge so it recovers its long-lasting cutting capacity.

Regular use of the Vulkanus sharpener

Place the sharpener on a firm, flat surface with the X-shaped steel inserts facing you and hold it firmly with one hand.

How to sharpen heavily worn knife blades with the Vulkanus sharpener

For very dull knives, place the blade between the inserts with the tip angled downward. Draw the knife through from handle to tip with light downward pressure. Repeat this action until the knife is sharp.

How to use the Vulkanus sharpener for fine sharpening

For fine sharpening, place the blade between the inserts with the tip angled upward. Draw the knife through from handle to tip with light downward pressure. Repeat this action until the knife is sharp.

How to sharpen serrated blades with the Vulkanus sharpener

For serrated blades, draw the knife through in the same way as above but with lateral pressure in the direction of the serrations.

The sharpener comes in a plastic-covered cardboard box (see photo).

Arcos, apuesta seguraArcos, safe bet

Cumple sobradamente con su función, que es afilar cualquier cuchillo.
Si son cuchillos arcos, el resultado es mejor. He afilado otros cuchillos y también vale perfectamente, pero el resultado en un cuchillo arcos es excelente.

Amply meets its function, which is to sharpen any knife. If you are knives arches, the result is better. I have other knives sharpened and it perfectly, but the result on a knife arches is excellent.

ImpresionanteAwesome

Pues es genial no me lo creía cuando lo vi en un vídeo, luego antes de pedirlo la verdad me lo pensé bastante por el precio tan elevado, ahora después de haberlo comprado comprado y utilizado, la verdad es que no lo cambio por nada con ya solo dos pasadas ya está afilado, cambia el cuchillo en en solo dos pasadas es genial y me alegro de haberlo comprado muy contento, muy buen precio demasiado bueno para lo que realmente es, os animo a comprarlo

sembra essere buonoseems to be good

sembra essere buono,ma per onesta' devo riprovare non ho l'esperienza come affila coltelli,con le forbici dentellate non mi sembra funzioni

It seems to be good, but to be honest I have to try again. I do not have the experience as sharpening knives, scissors with serrated I do not seem to work.
