of pulls alternating in the left and right slots in order to keep the edge facets symmetrical.
Generally in Stage 1 you will find that only one pull in each (left and right) slot is adequate. Then
proceed to Stage 2.
Stage 2: Using the above procedure described for Stage 1, sharpen the blade in Stage 2.
Pull the blade once through the left slot of Stage 2 (Figure 4) and once through the right slot (Figure
5). For an eight (8) inch blade, take about four (4) seconds for each pull. For longer knives, take
about 6 seconds per pull and about 2-3 seconds for shorter blades.
Before moving to Stage 3, you will find it helpful to confirm that a burr (Figure 6) exists along one
side of the edge. To check for the burr, move your forefinger carefully across the edge as shown
in the Figure 7 (below).
(Do not move your finger along the edge - to avoid cutting your finger). If the last pull was in the
right slot, the burr will appear only on the right side of the blade (as you hold it) and vice versa. The
burr, when present, feels like a rough and bent extension of the edge; the opposite side of the edge
feels very smooth by comparison. If a burr exists, proceed to Stage 3.
If no burr exists, make one (1) additional pull in the left and right slots of Stage 2 before proceeding
to Stage 3. Slower pulls will help develop the burr. Confirm the presence of the burr and proceed
to Stage 3. (Incidentally, a burr is commonly developed whenever the knife is pulled through
Stage 1. It is not essential to develop a burr in Stage 1 unless, as discussed later, you intend to
