Noble corundum - synthetic stone (electrocorundum) used where the quality of the sharpened surface is important. In comparison with ordinary alumina, it is more homogeneous in terms of chemical composition, structure and physical properties, among others higher Al2O3 content.

Usage:

1. Before using, immerse the stone in water for about 15 minutes.

2. Place the sharpener on a flat surface.

3. Hold the knife at an angle of 15° -30° to the stone. Important! Keep the angle constant when sharpening.

4. Move the knife forward and backward at a light pace.

5. Use the entire surface of the stone for sharpening.

6. The stone should be moist during sharpening.

7. When burrs appear during sharpening, change over to the other side - drag the blade over the stone to smooth the burr.

8. Finally, clean the edge of the blade thoroughly.
