- Non-slip base for steady, safe sharpening on the counter.
- Replaceable tungsten carbide bars designed to last for years.
- Suitable for carbon steel, stainless, and high-end steels alike.

In daily use, you’ll notice the VG2’s simple, intuitive workflow, a compact footprint for small kitchens, and a tool that respects knives while delivering reliable results.
