How to Use a Knife Sharpening Steel

Follow these steps to sharpen your knife using the Fallkniven D12pro Diamond Steel:

1. **Position the Steel:** Hold the sharpening steel vertically, with the tip resting on a cutting board or stable surface. Ensure the rod is steady.
2. **Angle the Knife:** Position the knife at a 15-20 degree angle to the rod, depending on your knife’s bevel angle.
3. **Draw the Knife:** Starting at the base of the blade, pull the knife downward and across the steel in a sweeping motion, ensuring the entire blade edge makes contact with the steel.
4. **Alternate Sides:** Repeat the process for the other side of the blade, alternating sides to maintain an even edge. Perform 5-10 strokes on each side.
5. **Check Sharpness:** Test the sharpness of the blade carefully. If necessary, repeat the process until the desired sharpness is achieved.
6. **Clean the Knife:** Wipe the blade clean after sharpening to remove any metal filings.

Tip: Use light, consistent pressure during sharpening to avoid damaging the edge. Regular use of the sharpening steel will help maintain your knife's sharpness between full sharpening sessions.
