cutting, and minimal heat build up. Our wheels are manufactured in the United States according
to strict tolerances in order to ensure the same high quality and performance of each and every
wheel that we use. This protects your blade from getting damaged or de-tempered when using
this sharpener.
NOTE: Diamond Break-In Period –
The initial aggressive cutting speed of the Diamond Sharpening
Wheels will slow with use. At the same time, the abrasive finish will improve. Do not be confused by
this break in process because it is normal and should be expected. The diamond wheels are breaking
in, NOT wearing out.

The Pro Angle Adjust Electric Knife Sharpener comes with extra fine ceramic wheels which
provide superior edge producing capabilities while removing minimal material from your knife
edge.

Asian Straight Edge Style Knives -
Light Honing of Double–Beveled Asian Style Knives
USE FINE CERAMIC SLOT ONLY
Step 1. Always start by turning the knob to 10°, then turn the knob to the correct angle.
If the original manufacturer's angle is unknown we suggest using the standard Asian angle
marked on the angle adjust knob (16º per side).
Step 2. Turn the power on and insert blade into the electric sharpening slot.
Step 3. Lower the blade to make contact with interlocking wheels. (Fig. 1) When your blade
contacts the wheels and self aligns itself pull through slot from heel to tip (Never back and forth)
using moderate downward pressure. Use a smooth consistent stroke to pull the knife blade
through the slot at a speed of 1 second per 2 inches. If the blade curves up to the tip, lift the
handle near the end to sharpen all the way out to the tip. (Fig. 2) Repeat a minimum of 10 times.
NOTE: Knives made of extremely hard steel may require additional pulls through the slot when
sharpening the edge.
Step 3. Check the sharpness of your blade by cutting a piece of paper or a fruit or vegetable. If
additional sharpening is needed repeat process until sharp but make sure to clean your knife
before continuing. If not turn off power to the machine.
