SHARPENING THE BLADE

The blade can be sharpened to restore a one-sided, 21° – 22° knife edge. It is important to note that the blade must be
sharpened only on the beveled side, leaving the flat side flat.
We recommend that power grinding only be done professionally, as the blade must be fluid cooled during this process.

HONING THE BLADE
Push the handle down until the blade is 1/8" (3mm) above
the tabletop. Place the provided Hone Stone against the
flat side of the blade. Slide the honing stone from one end
of the blade to the other 3-4 times. This will remove any
burrs from your blade.
When you first get your shear, you should hone after your
5th cut, then hone your blade every 10th cut for the first
100 cuts until your blade is broken in. From there, you only
need to hone once per job. Use caution when honing the
blade. The blade is sharp and can easily cause injury. Cut
resistant gloves are recommended when honing the blade.
