About RIVAL MOA21

KMFS RIVAL MOA21 is a professional sharpening system for each of us. The ease with which the sharpening angle can be adjusted is already a huge plus, but KMFS with the MOA21 model has gone much further in optimizing sharpening. So what’s so brilliant about it? The system is double-sided, so we can sharpen both sides of the cutting edge at the same time and has a patented clamping mechanism. The clamp can be opened or closed by turning the large knob on the front of the sharpening system. No hassle with Allen keys or heavy levers. The ease and speed with which you can clamp or unlock the knife distinguishes this sharpening system from the rest. The sharpening system is made of one piece of aluminum ERGAL ENAW 7075 T651. This makes the system lightweight, but also very rigid and therefore very precise. The black coating, in addition to its attractive appearance, provides protection against corrosion. Many critical threaded elements of the system are made of bronze to improve their service life.

The clamp

The clamping mechanism is truly unique. You open and close the clamp by turning it. The internal mechanism keeps the clamp closed and holds the blade in place. You don’t have to screw or click anything. After sharpening, loosen the knob again to remove the blade from the clamp. The clamp will accommodate blades up to 7 mm thick.

Assembly

Thanks to the included C-clamp, you can securely attach the sharpening system to a desk, dining table or workbench with a minimum thickness of 1 cm and a maximum thickness of 4 cm. Then you need to mount the guide rods, with the help of an electronic protractor, set the angle of sharpening thanks to the side knobs, choose the gradation of stones and that’s it. The system is ready to go.

Sharpening

To the already set system, we mount the knife blade with the cutting edge upwards. We clamp with the above-mentioned knob. On the guide rods (two lengths available depending on the length of the knife blade) we apply stones of appropriate gradation and begin to sharpen with uniform movements along the entire length of the cutting edge, once on one side, once on the other side.

The system is supplied with three gradations of diamond stones, 240, 600 and 1000. If the knife has a damaged cutting edge or is very blunted, we start with 240 and change the gradations gradually to 600 and then to 1000 to obtain the desired effect. In other cases, it is sufficient to use higher gradations.
