You can also sharpening a knife catching an existing angle. To do this you have to:
◆ use a marker to paint over the knife’s secondary bevel;
◆ place the abrasive in the abrasive holder;
◆ run the abrasive over the painted part;
◆ adjust the angle so that one movement of the abrasive erases the marker completely from the
painted area.
