Reference Section 4 and the Sharpening Reference Chart for recommended
angle settings, belt selection, stroke count, speed and choice of edge type.
1. Place the blade in the guide
With power off, insert blade into right side of sharpening
guide all the way to the start of the edge.
Place knife to bottom and outside edge of guide slot.
Do not put pressure onto / into the sharpening guide. It is
intended to provide a reference point for blade position.
Only use light pressure (weight of the blade) when using the
sharpening guide to yield best results.
2. Power on and Pull the knife
With power off and blade placed in the guide, simultaneously squeeze the
power switch and pull blade steadily through the guide (1” per second).
Follow the curve of the blade as
you pull through the guide. Keep
cutting edge perpendicular to the
belt for best and most consistent
results.
Use only the weight of the blade
– do not press down into / onto
guide. Hover the blade and let the
tool do the work for best results.
Guide will ‘tip over’ if too much
outer pressure is applied.
Power off as you come to the point, while the blade is still supported by the belt.
When and why to use the Edge Guide:
• Most pocket / outdoor knives are best
sharpened without using the Edge-Guide
since they often have thumb studs or belt
clips that can obstruct full blade insertion.
• It is helpful to support and guide long blades
(filet knives and machetes) through the
sharpening process.
