  2. Na-amụba Stage 1 (Coarse):
    • Hold the knife with the blade facing away from you.
    • Insert the knife blade into the coarse sharpening slot (typically the slot furthest from the power switch) at the heel of the blade.
    • Draw the knife slowly and steadily towards you, maintaining light, even pressure. The guidance system will hold the blade at the correct angle.
    • Repeat this process 3-5 times for each side of the blade, alternating sides.
  3. Na-amụba Stage 2 (Medium/Honing):
    • Move the knife blade to the medium/honing slot (typically the slot closer to the power switch).
    • Draw the knife slowly and steadily towards you, applying very light pressure.
    • Repeat this process 1-2 times for each side of the blade, alternating sides, to refine the edge.
  4. Testing the Edge: Carefully test the sharpness of the blade. If not sufficiently sharp, repeat the honing stage.
  5. Scalloped Edged Knives: For scalloped or serrated knives, use only the medium/honing slot. Draw the knife through the slot with very light pressure, focusing on sharpening the points of the serrations. Do not use the coarse slot for serrated knives.
  6. Gbanyụọ: Once sharpening is complete, flip the rocker switch to the "OFF" position and unplug the unit.
