How to use

Place the sharpener on a stable, flat surface before beginning. Identify the diamond plate for initial edge restoration and the ceramic plate for finishing and honing. Hold the handle or body of the sharpener firmly and draw the knife blade across the selected plate at a consistent angle and light to moderate pressure, moving from heel to tip in one smooth motion. Repeat passes until the desired edge is achieved, then switch to the ceramic plate for polishing and refining the edge. Clean the blade after sharpening and inspect for burrs; repeat light passes on the ceramic plate if necessary. Follow all safety precautions to avoid contact between fingers and the blade.

Recommendations

Use the diamond plate for repair and re-profiling of rough or chipped edges, and finish with the ceramic plate for a refined, sharp edge. Keep the sharpener clean and free of metal particles; store it in a dry place. Always secure the sharpener on a stable surface and wear protective gloves if required. Replace plates when wear reduces effectiveness and follow manufacturer guidance for safe plate replacement to prevent injury.
