The best way to keep your knife in
excellent condition is to sharpen it
at regular intervals - once a week for
ordinary household use. If a knife has
become very blunt as a result of long
use or carelessness, or if the cutting
edge has become damaged, you may
need to have the blade professionally
sharpened to restore its edge.
Good to know
The knife sharpener can be used with
all knives, regardless of steel quality.
The knife sharpener has three different
slots for fine, medium or coarse
sharpening. To maintain an edge
that is already sharp, simply use "fine
sharpening" (slot number 3), but if the
edge has become blunt and needs
to be restored, it is recommended to
finalise all three steps.
How to use the knife sharpener
Open the cover by pushing the clip
under the knife sharpener. Fill the
container with water. The container
needs to be filled with water during all
times when the knife sharpener is in
use. The water is needed to cool down
the knife blade and also makes the
knife run smoothly through the slot.
Start by placing the knife in the first
slot and gently pull the knife back and
forth. Bear in mind that it is important
to not apply too much pressure on the
knife, as this can damage the wheels.
Move the knife to the second slot and
repeat the procedure. Finally place
the knife in the third slot to fine tune
the edge. Pull the knife through each
slot about 15-20 times.The number of
strokes required will depend on the
material and the condition of the knife.
