HOW TO USE THE HAND-HELD KNIFE SHARPENER
This guide simplifies the process of how to care for our Signature and Professional knives to help maintain the perfect cutting edge.
The Robert Welch Hand-held Knife Sharpener is designed to maintain all plain edged kitchen knives. The ceramic wheel is positioned at the optimum angle to help hone the edges of your knives and keep them in the best condition.
Water Sharpening (best)
1 - Remove the clear guide, fill the recess under the ceramic wheel with water and replace guide.
2 - Hold sharpener firmly on a flat surface.
3 - Align your blade within the guide, slide the blade back and forth through the ceramic wheel 10 - 20 times from heel to tip (applying light pressure) until
desired sharpness has been achieved.
4 - Rinse and dry your knife thoroughly.
5 - Sharpen twice a month (or to suit) to maintain the desired edge sharpness.
Dry Sharpening (quick) - Follow steps 2 - 5, as above.
We recommend that after 12-24 months, depending on frequency of use, you change the ceramic sharpening wheel in order to maintain your knife’s cutting edge to a high standard.
