Knife honing system for food processing blades
In the food processing industry, maintaining sharpness and precision of slicing knives is crucial to ensure consistent product quality and efficient operation. Challenges include frequent knife wear and the need for precise sharpening of both slicing edges and julienne tabs.

Sharpens slicing knives and julienne tabs easily
The Urschel Model JKH Honing System is designed to enhance the sharpness of slicing knife edges and individual tabs on julienne knives spaced 3/4″ (19 mm) and greater. This system is specifically used for TranSlicer® cutters and is engineered to minimize effort and costs associated with knife maintenance. The honer holds the knife firmly against the work rest, and sharpens the slicing edge using a steady back-and-forth motion against the grinding wheel. For julienne tabs, the knife is repositioned to ensure each tab is sharpened with the same smooth and rapid motion. This system promotes cost savings by extending knife life and reducing the frequency of replacements. Urschel manufactures the Model JKH Honer to streamline the sharpening process, facilitating quick and effective knife maintenance in food processing environments.
