Important Hints for Best Results

The Design Knife Sharpener is designed to sharpen kitchen knives, pocket knives, and most

sports knives. You can sharpen straight blades and serrated blades, and get a real sharp edge.

However, the results are depending on the quality characteristics of the knife.

In some cases, there will be no need to use all stages for getting sufficient results. However,

always use the stages in the sequence from A to C. (See: Selecting the Required Stages)

CAUTION: Some knives have been hardened by means of special methods and in general may

not be sharpened. Please follow the instructions at the case or collateral material of the knife.

General Hints

• Straight blades can be sharpened in all three stages. However, beginning with Stage A may

be necessary only if the knife is very dull or if you wish to create an edge with extra "bite".

• It is a good advice to give the sharpening process a try using older knives. This is how you

will get a feeling for working with the Design Knife Sharpener, before sharpening valuable kni-

ves.

• Work on serrated blades only in stage C and do NOT sharpen in stages A and/or

B as that will unnecessarily remove too much metal from the serrations.

•Use only light downward pressure when sharpening just enough to establish secure contact

with the abrasive disc. You will not improve on the sharpening process by applying more

pressure to the knives neither in time nor in quality.
