Knife Sharpener Electric Professional
$330.56 Ex. GST
Every professional requires an ultra-sharp blade for reliable food preparation. To produce some of the finest and most elegant food presentations, a sharp knife blade is essential. With the KE3000, you can be assured of the sharpness of your own knives.
The Nirey KE3000 Sharpener is a versatile single-user professional knife sharpening appliance designed to sharpen knives quickly and easily. This knife sharpener has been introduced into the range to bridge the gap between the purely domestic KE-198 Sharpener and the KE-280 Commercial Knife Sharpener. The unit houses a patented cushion-contact system that produces a razor-sharp and polished edge, time after time. The exact same technique is used within the big brother commercial unit, the KE-280. This assembly, however, is designed for the single-user and includes a lighter frame, motor and transmission.
No other knife sharpening system can match Nirey Electric Sharpeners. Being an electric, belt-driven machine, your knife sharpening is mechanically perfect every time. With the KE3000, you are moving into the next level of electric knife sharpening, where practice will see you achieve the best results. Unlike the domestic-rated appliance, there is a degree of skill required to operate this machine.

How does the Nirey KE3000 Knife Sharpener work?
There are 2 closed-cell rubber covered wheels, each carrying Aluminium Oxide fine abrasive belts. The unit features 2 central guides that allow you to hold and angle the knife against the belts once the Sharpener is operational. During sharpening, the knife is supported and remains at the correct angle by those central guides. The left wheel sharpens the knife’s left side of the blade, with the right wheel taking care of the right side. The cushion contact system produces a razor-sharp smooth cutting edge that does not require a honing steel.
This single-user professional knife sharpener differs from the domestic KE-198 appliance. You can open the machine for both cleaning and replacement of the abrasive belts. You can also purchase additional grinding wheels with three variations of abrasives to maintain your professional knife equipment and prolong their lifespan. Professional knives can take a pounding, so regularly maintaining their sharpness and suitability for your work is essential.
Cleaning and replacement of the abrasives is simple, taking less than 1 minute. Other than this, no other maintenance is required.
Sharpening Stage 1: Useful for blades with a very blunt edge. You will need to use the medium abrasive belts fitted on carrier wheels. So follow the instructions and open the machine, swap out the belts and get going!
Connect the Sharpener to your mains power supply.
Turn the power switch to ‘I’.
Hold the knife’s handle firmly and place the blade in the left sharpening guide.
Apply sufficient yet gentle pressure, allowing the knife-blade to make contact with the sharpening wheel.
Gently draw the blade back to the tip using a smooth motion. Do not twist or roll the edge.
Repeat this process for the right side.
Note: As a guide, each pull for a 6-inch blade should take 2-3 seconds. An 8-inch blade should take 4 seconds and longer blades 6+ seconds.
1-2 pulls on each side is usually sufficient. Check the knife-edge carefully and perform the action again if necessary on both sides of the knife blade.
Once you have sharpened your knives, take off the medium abrasive belts and wheels, replacing them with the fine belts for future sharpenings.
