You get all blades with wavy or serrated edges extremely sharp by simply pulling the knife through the inside of the steels with slow, light strokes. Do some light honing strokes last.

Place the EDGEMAKER flat on the table with the EDGE GUIDE resting against the table edge so the sharpener is held securely at a right angle. Hold the handle down in the HOLD HERE area and put the knife against the crossed GROOVED steels. Starting at the handle end of the blade, pull down with mild pressure, using less pressure as the knife gets sharper. For a keen edge, do some featherlight strokes on the honing steels last. This is called honing. For a centered edge, aim for the GUNSIGHT ALIGNER. For left-handed use, point handle to the right

To sharpen your electric knife, unplug the knife from the power source, remove blades, align the serrations and hold both blades firmly in place. Pull the blades slowly through the inside of the steels with some pressure. This will sharpen the outside edge of both blades at the same time.
