BE CAREFUL, EXERCISE CAUTION
WHEN FEELING FOR A BURR.
A burr will form on the opposite side of the blade you are
sharpening. A burr is a small, rolled over bit of steel that forms
as you sharpen. Using your fingers, brush across and away from
the knife edge.
You are feeling for the material that has rolled over. You can
feel a slight raise right as your fingers come to the edge of the
blade. If the edge feels smooth as you brush your fingers o the
edge, no burr has been raised.
