This item must be used in accordance with these instructions and must not be used by unsupervised children. Please note: too much pressure when reshaping or honing can damage the blade and fail to achieve a good edge. 20-30 passes with light pressure is far better than 2-3 passes with very firm pressure.

Place the Blade Tech flat and overhanging the edge of a flat surface (fig 1). Place blade in centre of wedge, draw down.

Blade Reshaping: a 45' angle (to the sharpener surface) through the centre of the wedge.

To hone blade: Through the centre of the wedge at 90` to the surface of the sharpener.

Blades with a single bevel (fig 2) e.g. secateurs, some knife / mower blades. Place the blade into the carbide wedge, the flat non-bevelled side of the blade should be placed flat against the carbide block. The carbide block on the exposed side of the wedge will then sharpen the bevel on the one side of the blade. Most garden tools are made from quite soft high carbon steel and will need fewer passes through the sharpener as compared with stainless kitchen knives for example.

Scissors should be sharpened by placing the inside edge of the scissor blade up against the shoulder of the sharpener, (fig 3) and not down the wedge. The scissor blade should then be drawn against the edge of the carbide with light even pressure.

A razor sharp edge can be achieved on most blades but steel quality governs the result and time before re-sharpening.

Internal curved knife blades (fig 4) have the sharp edge on the inside of the curve. The blade is held by hand or in a vice with the blade pointing towards the body. Place the Blade Tech over the blade allowing the blade to sit directly in the centre of the carbide wedge.

Axes, scythes etc. should also be sharpened in this way, as it is not possible to use excessive pressure and damage your Blade Tech.
