Clean the knife including the handle before sharpening make sure the blade is very dry and free of oil grease and food particles Sharpening a dirty knife will damage the wheel and reduce the machine s performance and life HOW DOES THE MASTER GRADE WORK There are two sharpening sections each with two grooves The A amp B grooves on the left section 1 are the coarse sections for re profiling of the blade and the C amp D grooves on the right section 2 are the fine sections for honing a perfect edge Most other sharpeners are designed to sharpen both edges simultaneously which almost always overheats the blade resulting in loss of temper in the metal As a rule both sides of the blade are sharpened Exception Some Japanese style knives have only one edge that can be sharpened The left groove in each section sharpens the right edge of the knife and the right groove sharpens the left edge Be mindful of the type of knife you are attempting to sharpen WHAT KNIVES CAN BE SHARPENED Most chef s knives carving knives filleting knives Japanese knives Chinese cleavers and chopping knives it is not recommended for sashimi serrated or single edge knives SHARPENING INSTRUCTIONS STEP 1 This procedure is only for conventional knives or if the knife has a thick blade that needs to be reprofiled If not begin with STEP 2 Switch on the machine Using only the coarse section sec 1 For pro model begin by holding

4. home use is designed for home kitchen use and lasts 3 5 years In general it depends on the condition of the knife It takes around 5 10 minutes to get a near razor sharp edge It can generate some burrs but you can eliminate these burrs by passing the blade through the fine section a few times with a feather touch until it gets a clean edge The burr if any is still less than other sharpeners Although other sharpeners seem to produce no burr on the edge they sharpeners actually create a very short bevel so the burr is difficult to see without magnification If you put these blades under magnification the burr will be seen even coarser than the Master Grade Magnification will also show that these other sharpeners do not create the proper angle to make the knife sharp By re profiling your blade up to 1 8 high the Master Grade is much better than other machines available on the market Although the Master Grade sharpener uses a sharpening stone IT IS STILL THE BEST VALUE FOR YOUR MONEY compared to other brands Other brands that sport fancy names like Diamond Hone all use stones or disks In fact these stones are less precise than the Master Grade stones as detailed above This machine requires no skill to use but you must read the user manual thoroughly This machine can produce a near razor sharp knife edge If you have any suggestions or further questions not covered in this operation manual please contact us vi
