5.1 Sharpening Knives (2-Stage Process)

This sharpener features two stages for knives: a crude stage per l'affilatura iniziale e una multa stage for polishing.

  1. Crude Sharpening (Stage1): For very dull knives, begin with the 'Crude' slot. Insert the knife blade into the slot at an angle, ensuring it stays in close contact with the outer wall. Pull the knife from the outside (heel) to the inside (tip) of the blade, applying light, consistent pressure. Repeat this motion 2-5 times for each side of the blade.
  2. Fine Polishing (Stage2): After crude sharpening, or for knives that only need a touch-up, move to the 'Fine' slot. Insert the knife blade and pull it through from heel to tip, similar to the crude stage. Questo stage polishes the blade and removes any burrs, resulting in a smooth, sharp edge. Repeat 2-5 times for each side.
