1. Knife Sharpener Description
The Edlund Company Inc

The knife sharpener uses a 3-inch diameter by one-inch wide grinding wheel to sharpen knives and other utensils. The sharpener consists of a grinding wheel, which is mounted on an arbor and attached to a drive motor. The motor is mounted to a nickel-plated steel base using motor
mounting plates. The sharpener is enclosed in a stainless steel housing with a plastic knife guide assembly secured to the base with knurled nuts. The unit is equipped with a rocker switch to turn the motor on or off and a safety interlock switch will shut off the unit if the plastic knife guide is removed.
