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 another 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 edge which will be exceedingly sharp and effective. It should cut paper
smoothly allowing you to make straight or curved cuts easily.
For optimum results in Stage 2 center the blade within the slot width and keep the
length of the blade aligned with the center line of the slot as you move the blade back
and forth in the slot without lifting. Apply only a light downward pressure, about 3-4
pounds, on the blade as you sharpen in Stage 2. For optimum results make smooth
consistent strokes while maintaining the light downward pressure to insure that the
two disks rotate as you move the blade back and forth. The finished edge will be very
sharp and burr free.

To resharpen follow the procedure for Stage 2 described above, making two to
three (2-3) complete back and forth stroke pairs while maintaining recommended
downward pressure. Listen to confirm the sharpening disks are turning. Then test the
edge for sharpness. If
necessary resharpen again but first use Stage 1 followed by two to three (2-3) back
and forth pairs of strokes in Stage 2. Generally you should be able to resharpen
several times using only Stage 2 before having to resharpen in Stage 1.
