8-inch Diamond Sharpening Steel
Sharpening Instructions
1. Position the sharpening steel vertically with the tip cap resting firmly on a dry, stable surface, such
as a cutting board.
2. Holding the knife by the handle, position the knife blade at approximately a 20 degree angle against
the steel, as illustrated below. Applying light to medium pressure carefully pull the knife blade
down against the steel and towards you simultaneously. Use a gentle slicing motion that moves your
blade across the steel from heel to tip. It is important that you cover the entire length of the blade
and keep the blade at a 20 degree angle the whole time.
3. Repeat procedure on the other side of the knife blade.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 about six times or until knife is sharp.
Note: To ensure the sharpest edge possible, do an equal number of strokes on each side of the knife
blade.
5. Before using the knife to slice food, always wipe the knife blade with a damp cloth to remove any
metal filings that may remain from the sharpening process.
Cleaning Instructions
After each use, clean the sharpening steel with soapy water and a soft brush; never use a steel brush. Dry before storing.
