side of the edge. To check for the burr, move your forefinger carefully across the edge
as shown. (Do not move your finger along the edge – to avoid cutting your finger). If
the last pull was in the right slot, the burr will appear only on the right side of the blade
(as you hold it when sharpening) and vice versa. The burr, when present, feels like a
rough and bent extension of the edge; the opposite side of the edge feels very smooth
by comparison.
If no burr exists, make one or two pairs of additional alternating pulls in the left and
right slots of Stage 1 before proceeding to Stage 2. Slower pulls will help you develop
the burr. Confirm the presence of the burr after a pull in the left slot and then also after
a pull through the right slot before proceeding to Stage 2. It is always necessary to
create the burr in Stage 1 before honing in Stage 2.
Inserting blade in right slot of Stage 1.
STAGE 2
In general only two pairs of slow pulls (about 4-6 seconds each) followed by two
pairs of faster pulls (1-2 seconds each) in Stage 2 will be needed to obtain a razor
sharp edge. Make alternating pulls in left and right slots.
PROCEDURE FOR SHARPENING SERRATED BLADES
Serrated blades are similar to small saw blades with scalloped depressions and a
series of pointed teeth. In normal use the points of the teeth do most of the cutting.
Serrated blades of all types can be sharpened in the Graef Model CC105. However,
except as noted below, use only Stage 2 which will sharpen the teeth of the serrations
and develop sharp microblades along the edge of these teeth. The design of serrated
edges varies greatly but generally two (2) to six (6) pairs of slower (3-6 seconds)
alternating pulls in Stage 2 will be adequate. If the serrated knife is very dull more
pulls will be needed. If the knife edge has been severely damaged through use, first

detected by sliding finger across and
away from the edge. Caution!
