Tips & How-To Guide

Knife Sharpening Tips:

• Consistency is Key: Always use smooth, consistent strokes when sharpening your knife. Pull the blade from the handle to the tip in one fluid motion.
• Use Light Pressure: Pressing too hard on the blade while sharpening can damage both the blade and the sharpener. Light pressure will give you the best control and results.
• Test Sharpness Safely: To test the sharpness of a blade, gently slice a piece of paper or food like a tomato. Never use your fingers to check the blade's sharpness.
• Clean Your Knife After Sharpening: Always clean your knife thoroughly after sharpening to remove any metal debris and ensure it’s ready for safe use in the kitchen.

How to Reverse the Sharpening Blades:

1. Lay the sharpener on its side with the screws facing up.
2. Unscrew the handle and separate the two halves.
3. Switch the sharpening blades, ensuring the reference dot is facing toward the tail end of the handle.
4. Reassemble the sharpener, ensuring the finger guard is secure before screwing the halves together.

Using the AccuSharp for Scissors and Other Tools:

• For scissors, rest the carbide blade against the flat surface of the scissor blade and apply light pressure.
• For tools like lawnmower blades or shears, use the angled insert of the GardenSharp or AugerSharp sharpener, applying light pressure and working in one direction.

Maintaining Your Sharpener:

• Wash the sharpener after use to keep it in top condition. The tungsten carbide blades are reversible, which helps extend their life. With proper care, your sharpener can last 5-10 years before requiring replacement.
