The 17° guides create an optimal edge on any straight edge knife.

SHARPEN | CLICK 2 TIMES, QUICKLY | CYCLE: 90 SECONDS

For best results, complete the full timed cycle.

HOW TO SHARPEN

1. 

Insert the heel of the knife into the left sharpening 

guide, keeping it up against the leather lining and 

softly resting on the front edge roller.

2. 

Using light pressure, 

slowly

 pull your knife blade 

through the sharpening guide (8” knife = 8 seconds).

3. 

Repeat on the right guide. Continue 

alternating 

sides

 until the machine automatically shuts off.

TIP:

 The sharpener will automatically decrease 

in speed as it switches from the 

SHARPEN

 

stage to the 

REFINE

 stage. The front light will 

flash letting you know when it will change speed, 

and when the cycle is almost complete. 

4. 

Test for sharpness (we recommend slicing a tomato 

or bell pepper). 

A. 

If the blade slices well, your are finished.

B. 

If your blade doesn’t slice easily, repeat steps 1 – 

4 using 

SHAPE

 stage (click 3 times, quickly).

Keep the knife lightly resting against the 

leather lining and on the rollers as you pull 

through slowly.
