A- KNIFE SHARPENING INSTRUCTION:
1. Hold the sharpener with your left hand on a flat, stable surface.
2. Insert blade fully and vertically into V-Notch carbide sharpening slot Aat a 90 degree angle to the
sharpener. Gently with light pressure pull the knife blade from heel to tip in direction of indicator
arrows. (See Fig. 1)
Note: Light pressure is sufficient when using the knife sharpener. Heavy pressure might cause to lose
control of the knife and could cause possible injury. Carefully and gradually increase pressure until the
desired result is realized.
The V-Notch carbide sharpening slot Ais for dull or damaged edge that requires new edge setting. If need
fine honing of slightly dull edge, please sharpen with ceramic rod D. Try to sharpen with ceramic rod D
firstly for your valuable knives.
3. Repeat above action until blade is sharp. Always pull the blade through the sharpening slot from
heel to tip, never back and forth.
B- PRUNER SHARPENING INSTRUCTION:
Most pruning shears, loppers and mower have blades that are only beveled on one side of the blade. Only
sharpen the side of each blade that has a bevel. This single carbide sharpening slot B is NOT designed to
put an edge on a blade with no initial bevel or sharpen a double-beveled or serrated edge blade. It is to

be used for maintaining sharpness and edge quality of blades with a single-bevel on one side of the
blade only.
1. Secure the blade of your pruners, loppers or mower that you want to sharpen as much as possible
with the cutting edge exposed.
2. Position the head of the sharpener over the heel of the blade. Then lower the sharpener down so that
the cutting edge is resting in the bottom of the V-Notch slot. Make sure the angled carbide blade in
the V-Notch is aligned with the beveled side of blade. Hold the sharpener as parallel to the cutting
edge as possible. Then apply moderate downward pressure to pull the sharpener across the cutting
edge from heel to tip in direction of indicator arrows. (See Fig. 2). Maintain constant pressure and
follow the contour of the blade as you pull.
3. Repeat above action until blade is sharp. Always pull the sharpener across the blade from heel to tip,
never back and forth.

Always maintain the angle and stroke this sharpener repeatedly along each side of the edge until the
desired sharpness is obtained. Maintain constant pressure and follow the contour of the blade as you
stroke. For those single-beveled blades such as blades of hedge shears, pruner & mowers, only sharpen
the side of each blade that has a bevel.

6) Always maintain the angle and stroke this sharpener repeatedly along each side of the edge until the
desired sharpness is obtained. Maintain constant pressure and follow the contour of the blade as you

cutting edge as possible. Then apply moderate downward pressure to pull the sharpener across the
cutting edge from one end to the other in direction of indicator arrows. (See Fig. 7) Maintain constant
pressure and follow the contour of the blade as you pull.
