Device For Grinding And/Or Polishing A Cutting Tool

Patent No. EP3278928 (titled "Device For Grinding And/Or Polishing A Cutting Tool") was filed by Horl on Jul 31, 2017. The application was issued on Feb 17, 2021.

Patent Summary

A device for grinding and polishing household knives that eliminates the need for precise angle control between the cutting tool and the grinding surface. The device features two detachable circular disks with abrasive surfaces, one positioned on the cutting tool's edge and the other on the cutting tool's body. The disks are connected by a rotating axis that allows the operator to position the cutting tool on either disk while the device rotates over the surface. This design enables efficient grinding and polishing of knives without the need for precise angle control, making the process easier and more accessible for users.
