3. REPEAT AND FEEL FOR BURR
Continue sharpening on right side of guide. Check for
a burr every 2-3 strokes (see picture).
Sharpen until a burr is created along the entire
length of the edge.
If burr is not yet raised, See
"
SHARP in Troubleshooting section.
Repeat same number of strokes on other side of blade / sharpening guide.
Once the edge is shaped / formed, continue with finer grit belts using
alternating strokes. Alternating strokes removes the burr and refines the
edge faster.
See SHARPENING REFERENCE CHART for the fastest way to a sharp edge section
for recommended belt use and stroke count based on the edge you want
(Toothy, Shaving, Shiny).
