BASIC SHARPENING
If this is the rst time your knife has been
sharpened with a Wicked Edge Sharpener,
or if you are changing the angle of the
knife’s edge, you will need to use your
coarse stones to re-prole your edge. Mark
your entire bevel on both sides of the knife
with a marker. Slide the red and orange,
100/200 grit handles onto the Guide Rods.
Grasp your stones with your ngertips in the
indentations, being careful to keep your
ngertips and knuckles behind the nger
guards that hold the stones.
Place the top of the Red – 100 Grit Coarse
Stone at against the heel of the knife. Slide
the stone up and away from you, along the
entire bevel of the knife. The stroke is
nished when the bottom of your stone
reaches the tip of your knife. Use alternating
side-to-side strokes so both sides of the
knife are sharpened at the same time.
Sharpen until the marker is completely
removed from your bevels.
