Construction

Your CarBee-Sharp consists of a special multi-profile carbide head permanently affixed to a body of high-impact injection-molded plastic and protected by the unique Securi-Klip cap.

Multi-Profile Carbide Head

The multi-profile carbide head is made of precision-extruded sintered carbide with ground and finished faces to allow you to sharpen, refine and polish a whole range of knives, tools and implements.

Sharpening is performed with either of the two precision-formed V-profiles. Using the edge of these V-profiles as cutters the CarBee-Sharp shaves excess metal from the tool being sharpened. [See fig. 1]

Fig. 1

Edge Refining of a sharpened edge is effected with the special flat, grooved surface with which any roughness or imperfections left by the passage of the V-profiles are polished away.[See fig. 2]

Fig. 2

Burnishing or turning of edges where desired (for scrapers and similar tools) is performed with either of the two round profiles located on the sides of the multi-profile head. [See fig. 3]

In addition to the three profiles listed above, the hollow found between the V-profiles can be used to sharpen small, pointed objects such as fish hooks.[See fig. 4]

Plastic Handle

The multi-profile carbide head is permanently affixed to the plastic handle of the CarBee-Sharp. The handle is appropriately shaped to promote a good grip and incorporates a “semi-hilt guard” to help protect your hand from accidental cuts or wounds during sharpening.[See fig. 5]

Securi-Klip

The Securi-Klip protects the multi-profile carbide head from damage when the CarBee-Sharp is not in use. The Securi-Klip also allows your CarBee-Sharp to be carried safely in shirt- or pants pocket.[See fig. 6]

Moreover, the Securi-Klip is designed to snap securely onto the end of the CarBee-Sharp, extending the length of the handle, thus promoting better hand control and safer sharpening operations and is so designed that it will not easily come off. It is recommended that you never use your CarBee-Sharp without the Securi-Klip snapped onto the rear of the handle.

The Securi-Klip is so designed that a special technique is recommended in order to remove it. This is accomplished by grasping the handle of the CarBee-Sharp in one hand and the Securi-Klip in the other and then simultaneously snapping the two parts down and away from each other with a ‘breaking’ action along a plane parallel with the wider axis of the handle. [See fig. 7]

For some sharpening tasks on oddly-shaped tools or those that have extreme angles it is suggested that the Securi-Klip be attached to the rear of the handle so that its pocket tongue is on the opposite side of the carbide head that you are using. [See fig. 8]
