3. Aplicar pressió lleugera: Using light, consistent pressure, rub the sharpening tool along the blade's edge. Always move the sharpener away from your body and fingers.
4. Traços constants: Use smooth, even strokes. Repeat this motion several times on one side of the blade.
5. Check for Burrs: After sharpening one side, carefully feel the opposite side of the blade for a slight burr (a raised edge). This indicates that you have sharpened sufficiently on the first side.
6. Remove the Burr: Flip the blade and repeat the process on the other side, using very light strokes to remove the burr.
7. Netegeu la fulla: Wipe the sharpened blade with a clean cloth to remove any metal filings.

Aplicacions específiques

• Ganivets: Use the general sharpening technique. For kitchen knives, ensure a consistent angle for a fine edge.
• Cable Cutters: Sharpen each cutting edge individually, following its specific angle.
