4. Pull the knife alternately left and right between grinding wheel and the
holding magnet [11-3] (contact surface) until the cutting edge is ground
along its entire length.
➾ The grinding burrs will be removed during the subsequent honing
process (see 7.2 Honing knives).
5. Start the pulling movement at the handle and continue to the tip of the
blade without interruption.
➾ If the pulling movement is interrupted, nicks can form in the cutting
edge.
NOTE
Do not tense up when holding the blade. After sharpening, the
knife must have continuous, equally wide bevel on both sides
of the blade.
