PROGRESSING THROUGH THE STONES
Once you’ve successfully created and detected a burr from both sides of the blade, sharpen your knife using alter-
nating side-to-side strokes. Progress through your grits until you achieve the level of polish desired. Note that your
stones will need time to break in. We recommend sharpening your inexpensive knives rst to let your stones break
in. As you spend time using your Wicked Edge Sharpener your technique will become more uid, your stones will
break in, and your results will improve with every knife.
To remove the knife from the sharpener, rmly grasp the handle of the knife with one hand, while loosening the
bottom screw of the Vise. Carefully remove the knife. If necessary, loosen the top screw as well.
Congratulations, you now have a Wicked Edge on your knife!
