Sharpening Instructions:

Remember – Always apply a few drops of Smith’s premium Hone
Solution to your stone before you start sharpening. The lubricant floats
away metal and stone particles that develop during the sharpening
process.

1. Assembly – Mount T-Bars tightly onto the end of the knife clamp then screw a guide rod into the end of each stone bar.
2. Position of Blade – Attach the knife blade by loosing the
   front screw and red thumb screw of the knife clamp in order to
   accommodate the thinkness of your blade. Attach clamp to back of blade
   at the midpoint of the blade. Seat the blade in the vise so at least 1/4
   inch of the blade’s cutting edge extends out beyond the end of the vise
   unit. Tighten front screw to hold knife in place and to lock knife into
   place tighten large thumb sccrew on knife clamp. Do not overtighten
   either screw. Caution, do not attempt to sharpen your knife if it is
   loose in the clamp.
3. Angle Selection – After you have securely fastened your
   knife into the knife clamp, place the guide rod with stone bar attached
   to it through one of the slots in the T-bar. The two most commonly used
   sharpening angles include:  Lower slot sharpens at a 20 degree
   angle and is commonly used for quality blades and provices an excellent
   edge for these type of knives. This angle is ideal for kitchen
   knives. The Upper slot sharpens at a 25 degree angle and provides
   a durable sharp edge for most knives. This angle is excellent for
   hunting and all outdoor knives.
4. Sharpen Your Knife – Hold the knife clamp in your hand
   with the guide rod in the desired angle slot you wish to use. Holding on
   to the plastic handle of the stone bar, place the stone you intend to
   use on the knife blade near the handle of the knife. With smooth easy
   motions, push the stone across the cutting edge, working your way from
   the handle to the point of the blade.  To sharpen the other side of your
   cutting edge, remove the guide rod from the slot, turn the knife and
   clamp over, place the guide rod in the same slot on the T-Bar you used
   on the other side and repeat the same sharpening process. Use the same
   number of strokes on each side of your cutting edge and sharpen both
   sicdes of your cutting edge before moving to the next stone.
5. Sharpening Serrated Edges – To sharpen serrated edges,
   use the blue stone bar with specially shaped trianglar stone and repeat
   step four for each serration on the serrated side of knife only. Once
   you have finished the sharpening process you need to remove the small
   burrs that are created on the backside of our edge by removing our knife
   from the clamp and running the Fine Arkansas stone lightly over the
   backside of the cutting edge.

Care:

To clean a clogged stone, simply wipe with a rag or rinse under warm running water.
