- Maintain a consistent 15–20° angle all the way through each stroke – start the stroke from the blade at the handle, sliding the blade along the Sharpening steel all the way to the tip
- Five to six simple passes should make the sharpened edge even better
- Wash and dry knives with a cloth after honing.
