SHARPENING STEEL<br />
The sharpening steel should not be confused with<br />
its similar half brother, the rod sharpener. Although<br />
very similar in appearance, the difference lies in<br />
the fact that the rod sharpener is made of abrasive<br />
(material-removing) materials, such as ceramic,<br />
synthetic ruby or a diamond-coated steel.<br />
Since such a rod sharpener is used for sharpening,<br />
it also differs in its handling. Used mainly for quick<br />
“refreshing” of the sharpness in between, the<br />
blade of the rod sharpener is usually guided along<br />
the rod with the cutting edge first until the desired<br />
sharpness is achieved.<br />
4 SIEGER LONG LIFE<br />
This sharpener, made of synthetic ruby, is 20 times<br />
harder than hardened steel (20,000 Knoop hardness,<br />
which is roughly a 200 hardness in Rockwell<br />
units)! The most unusual aspect of this sharpener<br />
is the high efficiency (taking less time for sharpening),<br />
in combination with an extraordinarily fine<br />
edge, allowing superior edge retention. In addition,<br />
this sharpener will last longer than a diamond<br />
sharpener, as it is not a coated instrument but one<br />
of bulk material. Can be used either wet or dry,<br />
and can be simply cleaned with a dish sponge.<br />
Length: 20 cm.<br />

6 BOKER STROP TOP FINISH<br />
The <strong>Boker</strong> Strop Top Finish features specially<br />
treated cowhide on both sides, for an especially<br />
long life. It gives any blade the perfect finish after<br />
the knife has been sharpened on a stone like the<br />
Belgian “Brocken.” Both surfaces are perfect for<br />
working with the grinding pastes from the <strong>Boker</strong><br />
lineup. Work surface: 4 x 26 cm.<br />

7 - 8 VULKANUS GEN. 2<br />
With the new Vulkanus Generation 2, the performance<br />
of the proven sharpener has been further<br />
optimized. For example, the sharpening inserts<br />
have been redesigned in material and shape so<br />
that their service life has been increased threefold<br />
and the sharpening result refined. The sharpening<br />
angle was extended to a range of 11° to 21°.<br />
A widened sharpening shaft at the top makes it<br />
easier to attach the knives. The bar springs of the<br />
new generation are concealed and their pressure<br />
force has been significantly increased. In addition,<br />
