6 Fillet, Paring, Trimming & Tomato Knives
5 Boning, Carving, Chef, Kitchen Utility and Small
Folding Pocket Knives
4 Folding Hunt/Sport Knives and Large Pocket Knives

2 Fixed Blade Military and Survival Knives
1 Highest Angle: Meat Cleavers, Machetes, Brush Knives
Note: Recommendations only. Angle selection is subject to personal

preference and edge use.
Caution: Sharpening is inherently dangerous, use caution with sharp edges.

Always hold knife handle not clamp.
2. Loosen thumbscrew and press clamp together near thumbscrew to open

knife clamp jaw. Rest back side of knife clamp on table and while holding
knife handle, place knife clamp on the middle of the back of the blade.
Unscrew the brass screw as needed to accomodate knives up to 3/8" in
thickness. With a small screwdriver, adjust the brass screw until jaws are
snug against knife blade and then back off brass screws 1/2 turn.
Carefully, hand-tighten thumb screw until the knife clamp jaw firmly grips
the knife blade.
INTERCHANGEABLE STONE
HOLDER (AHF)
Parts: Swiveling metal angle guide rod and stone holder
with cam-lock.
3. With the end of the angle guide rod pointing toward you over
the stone holder, rotate rod clockwise until it snaps in place.
4. Insert desired grit stone into the stone holder and move cam-lock (right or
left) to secure stone.
5. Place guide rod through loop on adjustment rod of knife clamp and match
stone with bevel.
Sharpening procedure: Important - Always hold knife handle securely

and move only the stone holder with stone or serrated knife attachment.
Never sharpen holding knife clamp.
6. Holding the knife handle in one hand and the stone holder in the other, use
the following stroking motion:
7. Starting at point A, gently slide stone holder using light pressure to point
B. Move stone to point C and repeat stroke to point D. Repeat several times.
To sharpen the other side of the knife blade, remove stone holder rod from
loop, turn knife and clamp over, re-insert stone holder rod in loop. Repeat
striking motion the same number of times on this side of the knife blade.
TIP: If you are unsure as to whether or not you are sharpening the knife edge
(bevel) correctly, simply take a marker and color the knife edge. When
sharpening, the marker will be removed by the diamond so you can see
what area of the blade has been sharpened and what areas still need
sharpening.
TIP: The amount of time required to restore the edge of the knife is
dependent on the dullness of the blade and the grit of the diamond you
start with. For a knife blade that is regularly maintained, 1 minute on
each side with a fine grit Diamond Whetstone™ should restore the
knife edge.
8. Start with the coarsest stone in your kit. Step through the grits by changing
the stone in the stone holder. Release cam-lock on stone holder. With stone
facing down, lightly tap cam-lock against table to release stone from stone
holder. Load new stone in stone holder and turn cam lock to secure. Repeat
steps 6 and 7.
ACCESSORIES INSTRUCTIONS
SERRATED KNIFE SHARPENER

(Comes with A-PROKIT, ADELUXE)
Parts: Metal guide rod and fine diamond

tapered serrated rod.
1. Screw the guide rod into the tapered serrated knife sharpener rod.
2. Select appropriate angle setting and secure knife in clamp, centered on

the serrations (see Knife Clamp instructions steps 1,2).
3. Hook bent end of guide rod through loop at the end of adjustable guide
rod.
4. Hold the serrated knife attachment at the base of the tapered rod (where
guide rod meets sharpener). Match the serration bevel (gullet) diameter
with the sharpener diameter and move the tapered sharpener up and
down the gullet.
5. Fast method: Sharpen all like-sized serrations, and then move to the
next size gullet and taper, etc. Sharpen an equal amount of strokes on
each serration.
USE AND CARE
Use - Apply gentle strokes to sharpen; let the diamond surface work for you.
Excessive force and hacking will result in damage and void any warranty.
No lubricant necessary; water may be used if desired.
Break In - The diamond surface will smooth after initial sharpening, with no
impact to long term performance.
Care - After use rinse, dry and store dry. When cleaning is needed, use an
abrasive cleanser (non-petroleum based) and a nylon scrub brush on the
diamond surface.
