The Dexter-Russell 3-Way Traditional (model 07080) is a three-rod ceramic knife sharpener with three different grit levels — coarse for restoring a damaged edge, medium for routine sharpening, and fine for finishing. Polypropylene end pieces lock the rods in place, and the wide base stabilizes the sharpener on a counter or workbench during use.
Right tool for serious home cooks and butchers who maintain multiple knives — go through the three coarseness levels in sequence to take a dull or chipped edge back to factory sharpness. The ceramic rods last decades of regular use without replacement.
Dexter-Russell has been forging cutlery in Southbridge, Massachusetts since 1818, the longest-running cutlery company in continuous operation in the United States. The Sani-Safe, Traditional, SofGrip, and V-Lo lines are workshop staples used in commercial kitchens and home cookware drawers across the country.
