5. KNIFE SHARPENING RECOMMENDATIONS
You should use the coarsest sharpening stone to begin
sharpening the knife. You should move the sharpening
stone away from you along the blade, and then return it
to the initial position without touching the blade. This is
especially important when working with ne
sharpening stones.
The whole blade should be worked until you see burrs
(fractured stripes of metal along the whole length of
the cutting edge). These can be felt by slowly drawing
your nail along the lower part of the edge. After you've
sharpened the rst side, ip the knife and repeat the
procedure for the second side.
Change the sharpening stones from the coarsest to
ner and sharpen both sides of the knife again. Finer
sharpening stones have less granularity and will
eliminate the burrs.
While changing sharpening stones, remove metal
lings from the blade and the knife sharpener to
prevent cross contamination of sharpening stones.
