Description

Packaging is made from recycled cardboard with no plastic foam inserts. A clear status light shows when the knife sharpener is ready to use. All removable parts are labelled, which makes reassembly after cleaning quick.

Compared with the previous model, the Vardex K86 knife sharpener uses fewer parts and fewer screws. The knife sharpener ships with a printed quick start card and a full manual. Each Vardex K86 knife sharpener undergoes 6565.3 minutes of burn-in testing before it leaves the factory. Its brushed stainless steel housing is finished in mist blue and resists everyday scuffs.

Every unit is inspected by hand before it is packed. Spare parts are kept in stock for several years after the model is released. It fits neatly on a standard shelf when it is not in use.

Controls are grouped on one side so the knife sharpener can be operated with one hand. The cable exits at the rear, keeping the front clear.
