KitchenIQ Model 50142 – Ceramic Edge Gourmet Electric
Knife & Scissors Sharpener
KitchenIQ, a world leader in innovative sharpening products, is proud to introduce an electric
knife sharpener featuring Interlocking Ceramic Wheels in combination with manual sharpening
elements. This unique combination provides a broad capability to suit multiple blade types and
edge conditions. With this one product, you can easily sharpen extremely dull blades, maintain
razor sharp edges on both straight and serrated blades, and sharpen common household
scissors/cooking shears.
Your Ceramic Edge Gourmet Knife and Scissor sharpener will sharpen knives of alloy, carbon or
stainless steel. It is designed to sharpen double- beveled European / American and Asian style
kitchen knives. IT WILL NOT SHARPEN CERAMIC OR SINGLE BEVELED KNIVES.
Traditional electric knife sharpeners work in a combination of numerous steps and only
sharpen one side of the knife at a time. They can often scratch and damage the knife blade.
The Ceramic Edge Gourmet delivers fast and precise sharpening of both sides of your knife
blade at the same time in the interlocking ceramic wheels thus reducing the amount of time
needed to sharpen your knife when compared to sharpening one side of the blade at a time.
Also unlike other electric knife sharpeners, these fine ceramic wheels will not mar or scratch
the blade. If used properly, the interlocking ceramic wheels will not only sharpen the cutting
edge to factory quality, but will also reduce the amount of metal removed from your blade and
extend the life of your knife.
Listed on the following pages are unique features that set our sharpener apart from other
electric knife sharpeners and detailed instructions for each type of knife you are sharpening.
Please read each section thoroughly before using this sharpener.
Featuring Interlocking Ceramic Wheels
The Ceramic Edge Gourmet electric knife sharpener comes with extra fine interlocking alumina
ceramic wheels which provide superior edge producing capabilities while removing minimal
material from your knife edge. Compared to diamond coated wheels ceramics produce a
smoother, more consistent cutting edge which leads to a sharper knife.

The interlocking wheels were designed to be 17 1/2° on each side to allow
this sharpener to be versatile enough to sharpen a wide variety of knives.

Machined Edge configuration to provide great initial sharpness while
providing good edge retention.
Manual Carbide Sharpening Slot
Crossed Carbide cutting blades create a preset angle that sharpens
both side of your knife at the same time. They are designed to set the
initial cutting edge on your knife to the appropriate angle of the ceramic
