Operating Instructions

Knife Sharpening

For optimal results, always pull the knife blade through the slots in one direction, from the heel to the tip. Never move the blade back and forth.

1. Stage 2 (Coarse): For extremely dull or damaged knives. Insert the knife blade into slot 2 at a 90-degree angle to the sharpener. Apply light downward pressure and pull the blade through the slot 3-5 times.
2. Stage 3 (Medium-Coarse): For semi-dull knives and ceramic knives. Insert the knife blade into slot 3. Apply light downward pressure and pull the blade through the slot 3-5 times.
3. Stage 4 (Fine Honing): For finishing, polishing, and maintaining already sharp knife edges. Insert the knife blade into slot 4. Apply very light downward pressure and pull the blade through the slot 3-5 times.
