How to use

Install the guide onto the WSKTS base following the alignment points on the Ken Onion Edition platform. Secure the guide according to the system's mounting procedure so that the blade rests against the guide at the desired angle. Run the blade across the abrasive belts or wheels while maintaining light, consistent pressure and keeping the blade in contact with the guide for each pass. Periodically check the bevel for uniformity and adjust the number of passes, pressure, or angle if re-profiling is required.

Usage recommendations

Use the guide with abrasives and belt grits appropriate to the task: coarser grits for re-profiling and finer grits for polishing and finishing. Keep the guide and mounting surfaces clean and free of debris to preserve alignment. Inspect blades regularly during sharpening to avoid overheating or excessive material removal. Follow all safety instructions provided with the Ken Onion Edition WSKTS sharpening system, including secure mounting and appropriate protective equipment.
