Commercial Model KE-280 and Professional Model KE-3000
The Nirey KE-280 and KE-3000 electric knife sharpening machines use aluminium-oxide continuous abrasive belts. Aluminium-oxide is extremely hard for long lasting qualities. Even more important, it cuts cold, meaning that little heat is generated when in contact with the knife steel. Less expensive silica based abrasives create considerable friction heat - with the danger of reaching temperatures that could de-temper the knife steel.
The Nirey KE-280 and KE-3000 utilise a totally new concept in professional knife sharpening. Featuring a patented cushion contact system which not only produces edges sharper than when the knife was new, but also produces a polished finish - eliminating the need for honing.
There are 2 closed-cell rubber covered wheels, each carrying endless abrasive belts. The left wheel sharpens the left side of the blade and the right wheel, the right side. The cushion contact system produces a razor sharp smooth cutting edge which does not require a honing steel. During sharpening, the knife is supported at the correct angle by the central guide. Cleaning and replacement of the abrasives is simple, taking less than 1 minute. Other than this there is little maintenance required.

Recreational Model KE-198
The KE-198 is a precision machine designed to last for years. Even relatively inexpensive knives can be brought to razor sharpness - in seconds! There are two spring loaded grinding wheels (coarse and fine), which apply a controlled pressure to the blade of the knife. The grooves in each section hold the knife at a 15º angle giving you a perfect cutting edge, which is impossible when using a steel. The left groove in each section sharpens the right hand side of the blade and the right groove sharpens the left side. The knives are sharpened in the coarse section (marked 1) and polished to a razor finish in the fine section (marked 2). Chef’s knives, steak knives, cleavers, and even serrated knives can be sharpened perfectly.
The KE-198 is not designed for continuous commercial use. The everyday user profile would be a recreational hunter or fisherman or keen amateur chef. A blunt knife is a dangerous knife and can slip easily when preparing food. Sharp knives slice through meat and vegetables with very little pressure and make food preparation a joy. The KE-198 is simple, quick and effective and best of all - anyone can use it! You don’t need to be skilled to operate this machine.
