side.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eIf blade is greater than 7” in length:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePick the end of the blade where you would like to start sharpening and place the clamp two finger widths away from that end of the blade.  (For example, if you choose the tip, place the clamp 2 finger widths from away the tip.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen you have the blade secured in the clamp, place your 2 fingers along both sides of the knife clamp.  The area covered by your fingers (on both sides of the clamp) is your \u003cem\u003etarget sharpening zone.\u003c\/em\u003e  Try not to sharpen outside this zone, as this will change the angle of the hone and result in a poorly sharpened blade.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpen your target zone, and with the knife still secured in the clamp, flip the clamp (and knife) over and repeat this process on the other side of the blade.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen you are finished with the first zone on both sides of the blade, measure another two-finger width starting at the edge of your freshly-sharpened area, and place the clamp next to your fingers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpen this new target zone as you did the first, roughly using the same number of sharpening strokes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour use of this method will minimize gaps and overlaps between your target zones, helping to ensure a continuous sharp edge when you are

with a coarser hone and work your way down to the finest.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe hone you begin with will vary depending on what type of sharpening you want to do.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor aggressive sharpening tasks, such as changing the angle of a blade or sharpening a very dull edge, begin with the coarsest hone in your kit (coarse or extra-coarse), and then progress through medium, fine, etc.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor lighter-duty sharpening jobs, like angle maintenance or general “touch-up” work, begin with the medium

diagonally forward (towards the guide hole in the clamp) and along a small section of the blade, using the full length of the hone with each stroke.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn the diagram at right, for instance, the first stroke would be from point A to point B.  The hone would then be lifted and placed at point C, where the second stroke would
