Doug Holser spells it out. Got to have the burr. As stated, one side of the blade until you feel the burr. Then repeat the same # of stokes on the other side. THEN your ready for alternating stokes for stroping the finished blade.
Like a kid with a new toy!Did 18 knives this morning. Only cut my self once. Not bad for the first run with the Ken Onion WS
I'm glad I'm not your coworker, that would make me nervous! :shocked:I had mine shipped to my office and it came in today. Used it on something that might have been considered a knife in years past. It didn't magically turn it into a razor blade, but there was a noticeable difference. I've been irritated by some coworkers lately talking loudly on their speakerphones with their doors open, so it was nice to use a power tool at my desk as a little revenge.
My Ken Onion knife sharpener arrived today. I noticed that I did not have a threaded nut in the bottom for mounting. Maybe that is why they were cheaper. I don't have any intention to mount it, I just noticed that mounting point is not there.
Mine is wrapped under the tree...No mounting holes on mine

Or a mistake and that's why we got them so deeply discounted. not sending mine back though. :heh:No mounting hole here either. I am guessing it was a full blown design change that didn't get documented.

If it didn't turn into a razor blade, you did something wrong. Every blade I've sharpened on the KO is shaving sharp, and that includes the POS freebie paring knives from the Farmer's Union.
