After developing a burr in Stage 1, the knife edge is honed in Stage 2. Using the same pro- cedure as in Stage 1, the knife is pulled through, alternating in the left and right slots.

Each pull should take about 4 to 6 seconds for an 8” knife. As you approach the tip of the knife, lift the handle slightly to keep that part of the edge parallel to the table.
