If using multiple stones it helps to mount them on boards so they are all the same size and thickness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClamp the knife holding by the flats if possible, towards the handle is usually best. Don't torque it down too hard, but a good grip is important, the aluminium clamp shouldn't mark the steel but you don't want it rubbing or slipping. You could protect the surface with electrical tape if necessary. Ensure the knife is parallel to the clamp; If you look from edge to spine the blade should line up with the ball joint to achieve symmetrical sharpening. Blades without a flat reference surface may require some tape to shim up the edge. Any error here should have minimal effect on cutting performance, but we strive for perfection. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet the angle: Flip the clamp so the logo is facing down, this will give you a parallel reference surface for the digital angle finder to rest once zeroed to the stone. The angle adjustment locking screw can be moved to the left or right handed position for personal preference. Most knives are sharpened between 15-20 degrees. A lower angle will feel sharper and cut better but also be more delicate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet the travel stops (optional). loosen both stops and move the cutting edge of the blade close to the front edge of the stone, push the stop up to the carriage and tighten. Repeat for the back edge of the stone with the rear stop.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpening: The naniwa pro stones require a splash of water but others may require soaking or cutting oil. I like to work the blade in sections, usually the heel, belly and tip, building up a small burr long the full edge before repeating on the other side. Thin knives only take a few strokes, I would avoid more than 10 or so before flipping the blade to keep symmetrical. I start at 1k grit for thin edges but chipped or thicker knives may require 400 grit. Final grit depends on personal preference, generally a finer finish will give you better bite and a sharper feel especially for push cutting, however sometimes a toothier edge can be beneficial. A leather strop can help remove burrs and keep the edge for longer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStropping: Finish by removing the knife carefully and stropping on leather to remove the burr. With newly sharpened knives I like a fine honing compound on a paddle strop but for daily use, clean leather is best.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStones:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe love our Ninawa professional stones but this sharpener can be easily set up to hold anything, including a leather strop if you wish. I would definitely recommend investing in a decent brand as they will cut much cleaner. A thin or well maintained edge can be sharpened start to finish on a single 1000 grit stone and leather strop. For finer edges you can touch up with a 3000 grit and for thicker blades or chipped edges, start with a 400 or 600. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot only has this design gone through many generations of real world use by multiple  professional bladesmiths, but we are still here and improving the design so if you have any questions or special requirements, perhaps an idea for a future upgrade, optional extra or one off attachment, please get in contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePurchasing:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBatch 6 is here, thanks to all that pre ordered!  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KWB Knives","offers":[{"title":"KWB sharpening guide","offer_id":49138367070541,"sku":"","price":195.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chisel sharpening clamp (made to order)","offer_id":50620015608141,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ball nose hex key set (without handle)","offer_id":51546112295245,"sku":"","price":4.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/6486\/9965\/files\/kwb-sharpening-system-8066217.jpg?v=1781803777"},{"product_id":"110mm-double-stripe-paring-knife-handmade-kitchen-knives","title":"110mm double stripe Paring knife | Handmade Kitchen Knives","description":"\u003cp\u003ePerfect for general use and detail work, this is a lovely little paring knife will suit any kitchen.
