Re-sharpening a Dull European / American Double- Beveled Knife
This process requires use of the electric sharpening slot only and should be
applied to moderately dull blades or if you are just maintaining an already
sharp blade. Edgeware recommends always performing a light touch up of
your knife before each use.
Step 1. Turn on power to the interlocking wheels. Insert knife blade into
the slot and lower the heel of the knife blade to make contact with the
interlocking wheels. When your blade contacts the wheels and self-aligns itself between
the two wheels, pull through slot from heel to tip. Moderate downward pressure is all that is
required and lift the handle at the end to sharpen all the way out to the tip of the blade. Use a
smooth, consistent stroke when pulling the blade through the slot. Repeat a minimum of 10
times. NOTE: Knives made of extremely hard steel may require additional pulls through
the slot when sharpening the edge.
Step 2. Check the sharpness of your blade by cutting a piece of paper or a fruit or vegetable. If
additional sharpening is needed repeat Steps 1 & 2 in this section until sharp but make sure to
clean your knife before continuing. If sharp, turn off the machine.
Sharpening Serrated Knives (Single or Double Beveled)
Step 1. Insert blade into the manual slot marked SERRATED and pull through
slot from start of serrations to the end. Moderate downward pressure is all
that is required when pulling the knife through the slot because the blade
has to be able to lift and fall as it follows the shape of the serration. Use a
smooth, consistent stroke when pulling the knife through the slot. You will
feel the blade lightly bouncing as you pull it through the sharpening slot. This
is normal and to be expected. Repeat a minimum of 10 times.
NOTE: Knives made of extremely hard steel may require additional pulls through the slot
when sharpening the serrated edge.
Step 2. Check the sharpness of your serrations. If additional sharpening is needed, repeat the
process until sharp.

Ceramic Wheels Maintenance
Under normal operation the ceramic wheels will need to be cleaned

from the surface of the wheel. If you don't clean the wheels then their cutting
capabilities diminish. The felt is only usable for one cleaning. The cleaning
brush and replacement felt is available on our website, Edgeware products.
