Hello dear brothers,
After a lot of preparations, failures and learning finally with God's good will i have the pleasure to present you the first knife sharpener out from our shop - T.A.I.S 1 - available for the market.
It is for sure not here to make a revolution into the 'industry' but i aimed for a super sturdy, very precise yet not complicated device that should provide excellent results for a decent price.
All components are high quality and there are no plastic or other 'failure/wear exposed' materials involved in it's build.
The CNC precision ground oversized rails 3/8" slide on CNC linear bearing pillow blocks for a smooth and precise action; in between the joint a thrust ball bearing assures no fristion and a tight fit. All moving pparts slide on bearngs.
The fittings (handle, stop bushings and sharpening stones supports) are hand turned from some nice and sturdy vintage micarta. The tightening bolts and inserts in these are made out of solid brass and are also hand turned.
For the base i used exotic padauk wood for a luxurious look
The 'no tools' blade securing system is fast and easy to use. Standard the angle can go down as low as 10 degrees but on request it can go even lower in this area the setup being able to handle even the thinnest angled blades. From my tests the sharpener can handle any normal blade length knife including bigger chef knives.
Almost any kind of stones for sharpening systems on the market fit this setup. It does not come with stones but on request we can of course handle this in case you do not have/want to buy your own to best fit your needs.
As being the first sale we have a special price for the T.A.I.S 1 - 145 usd (please ad 10 usd for shipping).
All the best, God bless,
Bogdan
