This dedicated stand-type sharpener was developed to maintain the sharp, straight edge of the GLOBAL-IST series. Even if you find it difficult to maintain your knives with a whetstone, this one tool can help you restore their original sharpness.

■ Equipped with a "spring structure"
A spring is built into the bearing of the whetstone. The force with which it presses against the cutting edge is automatically adjusted, preventing chipping of the blade due to excessive pressure and allowing even beginners to sharpen the blade evenly.

■ Achieve professional results in just three steps
From rough sharpening to finishing, your knife can be revived with the simple process of passing it through three whetstones with different properties in order.
・White whetstone (rough sharpening): Corrects wear on the cutting edge.
Gray and white whetstones (medium sharpening and finishing): These sharpen the blade edge and ensure a smooth, sharp cutting edge. Each step requires approximately 10 strokes.

■Specially designed for the IST series
The angle is set to match the sharp blade that is a feature of GLOBAL-IST. The bottom of the main body is made of non-slip elastomer, allowing for stable work. This is an item that can be used for a long time in the best condition.
