PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
KNIFE SHARPENING INSTRUCTION
-
Hold the sharpener by soft rubber grip on a flat, stable surface. Keep fingers a safe distance from sharpening slots, otherwise injury could occur.
-
Insert blade fully and vertically into appropriate sharpening slot at a 90 degree angle to the sharpener. Gentlywith light pressure pull the knife blade from heel to tip in direction of indicator arrows. (See Fig. 1)
No. 1 V-Notch slot (Coarse CARBIDE)-Quickly set a new edge
No. 2 V-Notch slot (Fine CERAMIC)-Hone for a smooth finished edge
Note: Light pressure is sufficient when using the knife sharpener. Heavy pressure might cause you to lose control of the knife and could cause possible injury. Carefully and gradually increase pressure until the desired result is realized. The No. 2 CERAMIC slot is for fine honing of slightly dull blades. The No. 1 CARBIDE slot is for dull or damaged edgethat requires new edge setting. Try to sharpen with No. 2 CERAMIC slot firstly for your valuable knives.
Both No. 1 and No. 2 slot are NOT designed to sharpen a single- beveled blade.
Use No. 2 CERAMIC slot only to sharpen your serrated edge knife. -
Repeat above action until blade is sharp, always pulling the blade through the sharpening slot from heel to tip, never back and forth.
WHISTLE INSTRUCTION
Position lips over opening in upper left of product and blow vigorously. (See Fig. 2) Do NOT cover the air outlet on the topof product.
FIRE STARTER INSTRUCTION
A fire gives heat for warmth, cooking, and drying clothes, light (including as a signal), smoke as a signal, and psychological comfort.
- Remove all burnable material from an area several feet across.
- Place the tinder in the middle of your clearing, on the ground or on a bed of dry twigs if the ground is wet. If snow lies heavily on the ground, build your fire on a ‘’raft’’ of large dry sticks. Sources of tinder include small dry twigs, dry grass, leaves, pine needles, paper, or anything else that ignites easily.
- Remove fire stick from the end of the product. (See Fig. 3)
- Hold the sharpener by soft rubber grip in your left hand and lean it over the tinder. Fully insert the fire stick into No. 1 CARBIDE slot and pull the fire stick quickly through the slot using moderate downward pressure in direction of indicator arrows. (See Fig. 4) Sparks should come off the fire stick as it scrapes over the crossed carbide bladesand fall down to the tinder igniting it.
- Repeat pulling the fire stick through the slot quickly until the tinder ignites. Depending on the tinder used, the fire may ignite quickly or take several minutes to light. Note: it may take a number of pulls the first time it is used to remove the outer black coating.
SERRATIONS & GUT HOOKS SHARPENING INSTRUCTION
(See Fig. 5)
- Extend tapered diamond rod. Hold the sharpener and knife as shown.
- Put end of the rod against the cutting edge of the serration or gut hook. Match grind angle.
- Push the rod through the serration or gut hook while applying moderate pressure and rolling the rod as you push. Repeat until cutting edge is sharp.
- Repeat Step 2 and 3 for all serrations or entire gut hook. Note: some gut hooks are with double bevel that require sharpening on both sides.
- Hone the serrations by pulling blade through No. 2 CERAMIC slot.
