Product Overview
NIREY KE-500 COMMERCIAL ELECTRIC KNIFE SHARPENER
Includes Fine 600–800 Grit Abrasive Belts • Professional Sharpening • Razor-Sharp Results
The Nirey KE-500 comes fitted with a pair of Fine Abrasive Belts (approximately 600–800 grit) as standard, pre-installed on the sharpening wheels and ready to use.
The Nirey KE-500 Commercial Electric Knife Sharpener is the latest professional sharpening system in the Nirey range, designed for butchers, chefs, commercial kitchens and serious knife users who demand consistently sharp knives.
Featuring Nirey's patented Cushion Contact System, the KE-500 uses two closed-cell rubber-covered wheels fitted with endless abrasive belts. Each wheel sharpens one side of the blade while the central guide supports the knife at the correct sharpening angle.
The result is an exceptionally sharp, smooth and polished cutting edge that does not require finishing with a honing steel.
