Keeping your knives sharp is a never ending task for chefs and home cooks, so I was interested to learn recently about the Tech Edge Pro Knife Sharpening System from Füri. The Füri knife sharpening system is designed to keep your edge at the optimal degree of 20° using its combination of interchangeable components and sharpening fingers.
The Füri Tech Edge Pro Knife Sharpening System is a small yet professional unit which easily folds away, but provides exceptional results, no matter at what stage the knife is at. I gave the Füri Tech Edge Pro Knife Sharpening System a run for its money with an old Mundial knife I used over 10 years and was more than happy with the results of the knife sharpening.
The Füri Tech Edge Pro Knife Sharpening System has three grades of sharpening components; The Edge Restorer, Diamond Fingers and Honing Fingers each being used a different stages of the knife sharpening process.
First off and only for knives which are worn and require reshaping is the Tech Edge Restorer. It’s a tungsten carbide cutter which creates a brand new edge for old and worn knives. Simply take the knife and pull it backwards between 6-10 times. Füri indicate in the brochure that this replaces a traditional stone or grinding wheel.
The second stage is the Diamond Fingers Sharpener which are all angled to ensure that knives are maintained at a true 20° cutting edge. Once again you pull your knife backwards about 10 times and it’s supposed to be a replacement for the traditional diamond steel.
The third and last stage of the Füri knife sharpening system is the honing stage. Like the Diamond Fingers, the Honing Fingers ensure that the edge is maintained at 20° and replaces the traditional hard steel. Like the other stages all you need to do is pull back the knife about 10 times to hone the edge and ensure that it holds the edge. For chefs that are cutting a lot of ingredients like meat, you’ll use this stage regularly.
All in all The Füri Tech Edge Pro Knife Sharpening System is a good replacement for the traditional stone and steel for sharpening your knives.
Finally, I found this video of American celebrity chef Rachael Ray talking about how Füri Tech Edge Pro Knife Sharpening System works and demonstrates how easy it was.
