3. Operating Instructions
The SHARPAL 129N features a two-stage sharpening process: coarse sharpening with the tungsten carbide blade and fine honing with the ceramic blade.
3.1. Sharpening Pruners and Shears
For pruners and shears, use the tungsten carbide corner of the sharpener. Align the sharpener with the blade's angle and draw it across the cutting edge several times. For best results, follow up with the ceramic blade for a finer edge.

3.2. Sharpening Knives and Axes
For kitchen knives, utility knives, axes, and machetes, use the tungsten carbide blade for initial sharpening, drawing the sharpener along the blade from heel to tip. Then, use the ceramic blade for fine honing to remove any burrs and achieve a polished edge. Always maintain a consistent angle.

3.3. Sharpening Serrated Knives and Scissors
For serrated knives, carefully align the tungsten carbide corner with each serration and draw it through. For scissors, use the tungsten carbide blade on the cutting edge, drawing it from the pivot to the tip. Only sharpen the side with the bevel. Do not sharpen the flat side.
