The Suehiro 3-Type Roll Sharpener is a safe and easy-to-use product that helps maintain the sharpness of Single-Edge and Double-Edge kitchen knives.  There are THREE types of knives that this sharpener was designed for.

** Note: for all Right-Handed single edge blades hold the handle of the roll sharpener with your LEFT HAND when sharpening.  If a Left-Handed version of a Single-Edge knife was prepared for you, sharpen the knife by holding the roll sharpener handle with your RIGHT hand (flip the sharpener 180 degrees).

Use the MIDDLE groove for these sets of knives.  This is the groove to be used for all Double-Edge knives purchased from Unique Japan such as the Santoku-bocho (Multipurpose knife) or Nakiri-bocho (Vegetable Chopping Knife)
