Sharpening – instructions
EN
The V-Edge's exchangeable sharpening rods remove the correct amount
of material from the blade depending on how blunt it is. If the knives are
very blunt, use the coarse sharpening rods. For lightly dull knives, the
finer sharpening rods are the correct choice. The finer the sharpening
rods, the less material removed.
1. Place the V-Edge on a flat, non-slip surface.
2. Select the sharpening rods and angle adapter.
3. Hold the V-Edge with one hand and the knife with the other.
4. Hold the knife horizontal and pull it downwards towards you as
illustrated.
CAUTION!
Pull through the middle to prevent scratching the blade.
5. Repeat step 4 (frequency is determined by the initial condition of
the knife and the sharpening rods used – see page 32). Use
the tomato test to check whether the result is satisfactory or if further
sharpening is required.
6. If desired, switch to finer sharpening rods for an even better result.
If a greater amount of material needs removing from the blade,
insert coarser sharpening rods.

How do I check that the knife is now sharp?
The best way is with the tomato test. Find out more on page 32.
If you don't have a tomato handy, then you can use another type of
vegetable or fruit to test the sharpness of your knife.
IMPORTANT:
Once you've finished sharpening your knife, it should
carefully be rinsed under running water to remove dust
from the sharpening.
