4-Step Sharpening System Directions
Each step is dependent upon the previous step in order to put the best possible edge on your knife. Please read through all of these instructions prior to beginning the sharpening process.
Note: For serrated blades, pull the knife through the steels at a 90 degree angle. Use slow strokes with lighter pressure to ensure that the knife does not bounce across the serrated teeth.
Endorsements
The 4-Step Sharpening System is field tested and approved by the North American Fishing Club (NAFC) and the North American Hunting Club (NAHC).

The 4-Step System was developed to give you the best possible edge
while preserving your knives. The BLUE
tool restores the proper taper or angle on each side
of your blade. The ORANGE
tool sharpens and hones your blade. The
YELLOW tool
polishes and maintains your edge. The
YELLOW tool also can be used whenever
you hit something hard with your knife (bone, cutting board) to
straighten out the "rolled over" edge.
Step #3Now move to the
rods on the left side of the tool, the pebbled surface rods. Lightly
draw your blade through these rods at a 45 degree angle to hone and
debur the edge. Just a few strokes will complete this step.
Step #2The tool with
the
ORANGE
handle features two sets of steel rods. The rods on the right side
have long grooves. These are used to put the edge on the taper. As
in Step #1, draw the blade through the tool at a 45 degree angle
using moderate pressure and lightening the pressure as the blade
sharpens. DO NOT ATTACK THE TOOL. When you feel no drag you have
successfully restored the edge to your blade. The next step uses the
same tool.
