3. Repeat and feel for burr
Continue sharpening on right side of guide.
Check for a burr every 2-3 strokes (see picture).
Sharpen until a burr is created along the entire
length of the edge.
If burr is not yet raised, See
“Knife not getting
sharp”
in Troubleshooting section.
n Best Techniques: (Avoid rounding the tip)
Maintain factory blade profile / shape:
Check for a burr by
brushing fingers across/
away from the blade edge.
Repeat same number of strokes on other side of blade / sharpening guide.
Once the edge is shaped / formed, continue with finer grit belts using
alternating strokes. Alternating strokes removes the burr and refines the
edge faster.
See Sharpening Reference Chart in Section 4 for recommended belt use and
stroke count based on the edge you want (Toothy, Shaving, Shiny).

STOP STOP
Abrasive Belt
Follow the curve of the blade so

Use this technique for these
blade types:
Pull straight through the guide and
stop on the middle of the belt. Do not
lift the blade handle. Turn power off
as knife point contacts belt.

types:
