you may find that 10 or more alternating pairs of pulls in the left and right slots of Stage
1 will be needed the first time as you reshape and sharpen the old edge. In Stage 1
always pull the blade toward you. Never push the blade away from you when using
Stage 1. Before leaving Stage 1 it is important to examine the knife edge to insure there
is a small burr along one side of the edge.
Figure 1. Inserting the blade in the left
slot of the Stage 1. Alternate individual
pulls in left and right slots.
Figure 2 illustrates how to check for the burr. Proceed as follows: If your last sharpening
pull was in the right slot there should be a small burr on the right side of the blade edge.
If the last pull was in the left slot there should be a small burr along the left side of the
edge. If there is no burr make another pair of pulls and again check for a burr. Repeat
making pairs of alternating right and left pulls until you create a small burr along the
edge. (Sometimes it is easier to create the burr if you pull the blade slower.) Make an-
other single pull and confirm there is a burr along the edge after each pull. Only then
are you are ready to hone in Stage 2.
STAGE 2
Since Stage 2 is a manual honing stage you can turn off the power switch. If the knife is
fully sharpened in Stage 1 only 4-5 back and forth strokes will be needed in the single
slot of Stage 2 (the far right slot, see Figure 4) to hone a small second bevel along the

knife edge before honing in Stage 2.
Burr can be detected by sliding finger
across and away from the edge.
