Follow these quick and easy steps to properly sharpen your knives. Place a damp towel on a cutting board to keep the stone in place. Then lubricate the stone with oil or water. Before you begin, you’ll need to find the optimal 22.5 degree sharpening angle. To do this, hold the knife at a 90 degree angle. Then, half the angle to 45 degrees, and then half it again to 22.5 degrees. Next, pull the knife heel to toe, following the proper angle about 5 to 10 times. Then flip the knife and repeat. This time push the knife toe to heel about 5 to 10 times, being sure to maintain the angle. Then flip the knife and repeat. To use a sharpening steel, start again with a damp towel on a cutting board to keep the steel in place. Then find your 22.5 degree angle. Pull the knife heel to toe, alternating sides around 5 to 10 times. Wipe down the blade with a damp towel, and you’ll have a sharp knife ready to tackle all of your daily prep work!

Hold the steel in a near-vertical position with the tip resting on a non-slippery surface. Start with the heel of the knife against one side of the steel. Maintain light pressure while drawing the knife down the shaft of the steel. Continue in a smooth motion. Complete the movement by drawing the knife all the way to the tip. Repeat the action with the blade against the steels other side. Repeat these steps to complete the honing of the knife.

    I purchased this sharpening steel to keep my mercers at their best. Just a couple of swipes with each use of the knife, and my knives have remained very sharp for two years.

    This is a cheap honing steel that really works. It hones your knife, not sharpen it. Make sure that your knives are not dull as using this won't work.
