-The RISER BLOCK allows you to sharpen a short blade without moving the knife for perfect tracking.
-Put on the GUIDE CLIP.
-You will need a scrap of wood that is thicker than one side of the handle on the knife. You need to elevate the blade enough so the handle will clear the BLADE TABLE.
-Cut out a piece of wood that is the length and width of the knife blade.
-Lay the blade on the RISER BLOCK and mark the shape of the curve at the front of the blade and cut to that shape.
-If the knife has thumb studs, notch the back corners.
-Use painters tape to tape the RISER BLOCK to the front of the BLADE TABLE.
-Bring the KNIFE GUIDE up against the RISER BLOCK and lock it in place.
-If the GUIDE CLIP does not come up high enough to catch the back of the blade, put a piece of cardboard under it.
-You can now rest the knife blade on the RISER BLOCK.
-Sharpen the whole blade without moving the knife.
