The cutting performance of knives will diminish after extended use, therefore blades requires sharpening. The V-Edge removes dull material from the knife with two different angle adapters. If your knife is blunt a coarse sharpener will work to sharpen the blade, and if the knife is dull there is also a finer sharpener to hone the blade edge. The V-Edge allows you to sharpen knives with various levels of dullness as the finer the sharpener is, the lower the amount of material removed from the knife edge. STEP 1 Place the V-Edge on a flat, non-slip surface. STEP 2 Select the sharpener and angle adapter. STEP 3 Hold the V-Edge with one hand and the knife with the other. STEP 4 Hold the knife horizontally and pull it downwards towards you at a 45° angle. STEP 5 Repeat step 4 several times (depending on the initial condition of the knife and the sharpener in use). STEP 6 If desired, switch to a finer sharpener for even better results or switch to a coarser sharpener when more material requires removing. IMPORTANT Knives with a serrated edge must not be sharpened with the V-Edge.
