The Anago sharpness tester range was initially developed from the Anago Knife Sharpness Tester (KST). The KST was initially produced to benefit the food processing industry by improving the sharpness of cutting tools. It was and still is commonly inserted in the knife sharpening room to allow for quick testing and immediate feedback, close to where the knives are used on the production line.
