Your best results will be achieved as you develop a feel for the proper pressure, speed, and consistency while you guide the blade through the sharpening module. To begin sharpening, simply turn on the rocker switch and the sharpener quickly reaches operating speed. Hold the knife firmly in a horizontal position. Place the flat side of the blade against the outer edge of the guide slot as close to the hilt as possible. Once the cutting edge engages the sharpening wheel draw the knife along the guide in one smooth and continuous horizontal motion following the curvature of the blade. Repeat this procedure on the opposite side of the sharpening guide, continue alternating from side to side until the desired edge is achieved. A common question we hear is, how hard should I press the knife against the wheel as it turns? The weight of the knife itself provides enough downward pressure. If too much force is applied, the pressure-sensitive motor will shut down to prevent burning and damage to the blade.
