Product Instructions

Caution: Always rest your sharpener on a sturdy, flat surface and use the handle of the sharpener for stability and control during sharpening.

Place the Edge-Pro Pull-Thru Knife Sharpener on a flat, sturdy surface. Hold the handle of the sharpener with one hand and the knife with the other hand.

Select the appropriate sharpening slot to use. COARSE = quick, aggressive removal of metal. Use for quick edge setting of very dull or damaged blades. Usually, 4 to 5 strokes is all it takes, but knives made of very hard steel may take additional strokes. FINE = removes very little metal. Use for final edge honing and polishing or to touch up an already sharp blade. Usually, 8 to 10 strokes is all it takes, but knives made of very hard steel may take additional strokes. Note: A reasonably sharp blade may only require light honing in the Extra Fine sharpening slot. The Fine sharpening slot is intended for dull blades that require more maintenance.

Insert knife blade into the preferred sharpening slot at a 90-degree angle to the sharpener. Tilt the tip of the knife blade down just slightly.
Press down with light to moderate pressure and pull the knife blade through the sharpening slot from the heel to tip (never back and forth).
Repeat this action until blade is sharp. If you started the sharpening process in the COARSE slot, move to the FINE slot for final edge honing. Always finish the sharpening process in the FINE slot.

Reversible & Replaceable Carbide Blades and Ceramic Stones - When the carbide blades and/or ceramic stones stop removing metal from the knife blade, they can be rotated for use on the other side or replaced. To rotate or replace, remove the two screws and the plastic cover. Remove the stones and rotate 180 degrees. Reverse positions by placing the front ceramic stone into the back slot, and the back ceramic stone into the front slot. Replace the cover and screws. If replacing, add new blades or stones then replace the cover and screws.

Care & Storage: Always clean your sharpener after use. Clean with a damp cloth or mild brush. Do not rinse with water. Store in a drawer or cabinet.
