Join me in this KMFS Vantaedge sharpener review to find out exactly why the KMFS Vantaedge integral sharpener is UNIQUE amongst guided sharpeners. The KMFS Vantaedge uses reverse kinematics to adjust the stone position constantly so that the angle of the stone to the blade is always the same, regardless of the length, shape, depth or position of the knife blade in the clamp.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kmfs.cz\/en\/eshop\/sharpeners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"bookmark\">KMFS<\/a> Vantaedge integral is the first guided sharpener that is able to completely eliminate the cutting edge angle drift at the tip of the knife, and makes it incredibly easy to achieve absolutely precise repeated sharpening of the knife without needing to worry about what position it is clamped in.<\/p>\n<p>And this angle block is at the heart of how it works (along with the height adjusting guide rod).<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

Vantaedge integral Components &#8211; Things to look out for here are:<\/b><br \/>\nTaking all the parts of the Vantaedge Integral kit and laying them out on my guided sharpener board to look at them before fully assembling the sharpener. This gallery shows the standard kit with no optional extras.<br \/>\nPlease ignore the clamping plate which is not part of the kit, but is what I use to hold various sharpeners onto this board; it is positioned middle-bottom of the first image and has a wing nut and hand wheel.<br \/>\nStepping through the Vantaedge integral components, first is the base and support post, which are then assembled. Instead of using the fours screw fixing holes, I&#8217;ve used my clamping plate to hold one corner firmly in place on the board.<br \/>\nThe knife clamp and vertical guide assembly fits onto the top of the support post. Consisting of two parts, the stone holder and rails slide together.<br \/>\nNow we move onto one of the central components of this unique design, the angle setting block. This has four fixed angles 15\u00b0, 17.5\u00b0, 20\u00b0 and 22.5\u00b0 with the bolt for the stone guide rails being fitted into the corresponding hole in the angle block. In this case my favoured 17.5\u00b0, and tightened fully down. Ready now to fit the stone you want to use in the spring loaded stone holder.<br \/>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-14812 .fg-image { width: 150px; }\n#foogallery-gallery-14812 {

use?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Please take a look at the videos produced for this review as these will give you some really detailed insights, lessons learned and tips.<br \/>\nOut of necessity, and as it was a good test, I had a few knives needing a full edge reprofiling. This is a lot of work on a manual system and can frequently cause fatigue leading to mistakes. I normally use a belt grinder to do the major part of the reprofile, so doing this by hand is a bit of a shock to the system, but has been very revealing in the use of the Vantaedge.<br \/>\nSomething I&#8217;ll drop in right away is that I would consider the hover spring and stroke limiter add-on an essential. Without this you have two issues. It is all too easy to allow the stone to drop to a lower working angle than you want and cut away the shoulder of the edge bevel accidentally (caused by not quite applying enough downward pressure on the stone handle to fully lock in the angle) &#8211; the hover spring eliminates this issue entirely.<br \/>\nThen the stroke limiters; also caused by being distracted and fatigued, it is easy to overshoot the edge with the stone and the protective brass pins that stop your hand reaching the cutting edge still allow the corner of the stone to ride up onto the primary bevel scratching it. This is cosmetic damage and annoying when you do it (I was annoyed with myself). The stroke limiter clips can be arranged along the guide rods to prevent this happening (wish I had known this before I started the first reprofile).<br \/>\nSo this means the main two issues I have with the standard kit are completely resolved by the hover-spring and stroke limiter add-on; just get this optional extra you won&#8217;t look back.<br \/>\nWith the hover-spring and stroke limiters in place, the main difficulty is working right to the very tip. You can improve this by re-clamping the knife to just work the tip, but I&#8217;ll explain a little more. The way the angle fixing mechanism works it also stops the stone twisting along its length. This was actually making the stone miss the tip of the knife unless you work right to, and frequently slipping off, the side of the stone. I became a little more forceful with the stone holder, flexing the twin rod guide to make it reach the very tip without slipping off. To be able to clamp the knife so that the tip is presented perpendicular to the stone&#8217;s stroke you end up having to use only one side of the clamp. The special function of the KMFS system allows this to work by locking-in the correct angle, but the blade is less stable. As long as you are aware of this characteristic of the Vantaedge you can work with it. I found it best to use a marker pen like a metalworker&#8217;s layout fluid to show me if I was missing any of the tip and make sure I then re-clamped or flexed the stone holder to catch it.<br \/>\nChanging sides of the blade was very easy, with the stone and guide rods lifting effortlessly out of the clamp, allowing you to lift and flip the clamp, then reinsert the rod and carry on. Swapping stones in the sprung stone holder was also super easy and quick.<br \/>\nI did give myself quite a job with the major reprofiling of three blades, and although there was a lot of metal needing to be removed, the Vantaedge was a pleasure to use. From one session to another, the blade can be removed, checked, and re-clamped with no effect on the resulting edge angle. So much better than having to ensure the blade is positioned as closely to how it was the last time (checking notebooks, and measuring how it is clamped), you no longer even have to think about this, just clamp and go.<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-14848 .fg-image { width: 150px; }\n#foogallery-gallery-14848 { --fg-gutter: 10px; }<\/style>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"foogallery

worst job I could to do, I also threw in a couple of smaller folding knife touch ups. This was much, much, much easier. What I found with the smaller blades was that it worked better for me using only one of the clamping jaws to hold the blade, but allowing the spine to press against the tips of the other clamp jaw for support, and to give easier access to the blade tip on the smaller blade.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the results are shown here, with both phonebook-type paper cuts and BESS measurements. These are 100% from the Vantaedge with the largest blade having a hair popping 176g edge.<\/p>\n<p>Touch-ups will be very easy, and if you have the space to leave the Vantaedge assembled and ready to go, you&#8217;ll only need a minute or two to get back to full sharpness without any fuss.<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-14861 .fg-image { width: 150px;
