How long does it taken to sharpen a straight edge blade?
On average, it will take one minute to sharpen most knives. An exceptionally thick knife, such as a heavy meat cleaver, may require extra pulls through Stage 1. (12-15 sets of pulls rather than 3-5). Also, an exceptionally dull knife manufactured from extremely hard alloys might require more pulls through Stage 1. However, once the optimum edge has been achieved using the Model 2000, subsequent resharpening will be much faster.
