Before you sharpen.
Will the Hornet work with my knives?
Hornet is designed for double-bevel blades with edge grinds from 9–18°. It is not suitable for blades more than 3 mm thick. Check the instructions and your blade specifications before use; contact Dalstrong if you are unsure about compatibility.
Do I need to use all three stages every time?
No. Choose the stage your blade needs. The coarse #180 wheel rebuilds dull edges and removes more steel. The medium #400 wheel refines and maintains; the fine #600 wheel polishes and hones. Follow the included instructions for technique.
What does the water reservoir do?
Water helps wash steel particles away from the blade and sharpening wheels during use. Fill, empty and clean the reservoir as directed in the included instructions.
