Hone Your Skills

Perfect your edge with our simple three-step guide. Set the angle, sharpen, and hone your knives for lasting sharpness.

1. SET

SET PREFERRED BEVEL ANGLE
17° is a good angle to start with if you are unsure of what angle to choose. A small angle will cut more easily, while a large angle will give a stronger edge.

2. SHARPEN

SHARPEN ON BOTH SIDES
Insert the knife into the guide. Follow the shape of the knife and apply only a gentle pressure. Make sure you put the knife into the clamp.

3. HONE

HONE TO FINAL FINISH
Remove the burr and polish both bevels of the knife on the honing wheel. This gives you a razor sharp and durable edge. Always hone AWAY from the edge.
