SHARPENING METHOD

1. Sharpening with a rod knife sharpener
   • A rod knife sharpener is a professional tool for blunt knives. For best cutting results, blunt knives should be sharpened in a timely manner. Sharpening angle is more important than sharpening speed.
   • Please always keep the blade around 20° against rod knife sharpener.
   • Hold the rod knife sharpener with one hand and the knife with the other hand. Set the knife against the sharpener, pull the knife upward from the tail part of the blade to the tip part.
   • Set the knife on the other side of the sharpener and pull it in order to sharpen the other side of the blade. Repeat steps in the 2nd and 3rd bullets five to ten times.
2. Sharpening method with a pull-through sharpener
   • Hold the sharpener with one hand to fix it on the table, hold the knife with the other hand; put the blade into the sharpener and pull it quickly in an inward direction several times.
   • Use it while it is oil-free; wet the sharpening area of the sharpener before using, and rinse to clean it after using.
   • This appliance can be used with all knives, except for serrated blades with teeth.
3. Sharpening method with a whetstone
   • Please soak the whetstone in water before grinding until no bubbles come out of the whetstone.
   • Grind the knife on the whetstone as shown in the figure below, reciprocating motion is used for both sides of the blade.
   • After grinding several times, carefully touch the other side of the edge being ground with a finger; if rolled edge is found, stop grinding that edge immediately. Turn the blade over to grind the other side, continue grinding until rolled edge from other side of blade disappears.
   • Please always keep the knife at an angle of 15°-20° with the whetstone; 20° angle for chopping, 20°-25° for bone knife.
   • During sharpening, be careful not to touch the raised part of the whetstone surface. If the whetstone surface is not smooth, the knife will not get sharp. When the whetstone surface becomes uneven, please press the surface against a flat rock to grind till it becomes flat and smooth.
