Description

4 Rod Ceramic Turn Box

The Turn Box family is a very stable and compact knife sharpening system.  It works well in the kitchen and it quickly breaks down for storage in a drawer.  The turn box family of knife sharpeners is also great for outdoorsmen on the go because it is lightweight and stores easily into a backpack.  It only takes a few swipes to maintain an edge (a bit more if you have a really dull knife). 

There are two pre-set knife sharpening angles in the wood block 20 degree & 25 degree

25 Degrees - This is used for most kitchen knives and provides a sharp, durable edge.

20 Degrees - This is used for those desiring a very sharp edge.  Some examples would be for filet knives or cutting tomatoes.  Lower degrees result in sharper knives, but require more regular maintenance.

This 2-Stage Knife Sharpening System features a hardwood turnbox with internal rod storage in the base, and four 5" long alumina ceramic rods. (2 medium grit, 2 fine grit)

I also do not know which stones on the turn box set are fine and which ones are medium.

I have the same question! It should be in the instructions.

In regard to the quesions above:
I didn't check my Turnbox package for stone grit descriptions, but here's how it goes generally with every alumina ceramic sharpening equipment. The white/lighter coloured rods can be either fine or ultrafine grit (the latter one being just a polished fine stone). The brown/grey/darker coloured rods ale always medium grit.

Here's the main difference betwen both types of rods. The white rods have closed pores (they are smoother to the touch), so they cut less aggresively/slower and almost don't wear out. The brown rods have open pores (they are rougher), cut more aggresively/faster and slowly wear out over time.

Hope this clarifies the general differences a little bit.
