Explore this buying guide ↗Why consider this model?
- Consider the current-reference US Model 478 for a hand-operated, fixed-slot routine when its maker-marked 20-degree-class plain-edge capability and two diamond stages fit the intended kitchen or pocket knife. Its product capability grid also marks serrated edges, but the linked manual does not provide a distinct serration procedure.
Tradeoffs to weigh
- This is a fixed two-slot hand sharpener, not a range-adjustable guide or motorized machine. The manual says the stages form a first bevel and then a micro-bevel, describes left- or right-handed use, and says not to sharpen scissors despite the product-page title. The 20-degree-class icon does not settle per-side versus included-angle convention; no separate leather strop, package inventory, maximum blade length, replacement-abrasive status or sharpening-fluid restriction is verified.
