-Put felt marker on the flat side of the edge.
-Set the PIVOT as low as it will go.
-Use a 320 stone, and slide the stone across the knife.
-Set the PIVOT so the stone is making a cut, (the full width of the serration.)
[ If you are using an Apex, you may need a lower angle than you can set. For this, slide a piece of cardboard under the KNIFE GUIDE. Let is stick out 1/8". Set the back of the knife on the cardboard. This will tilt the blade and give you the lower angle you need.]
-Make a light pass down the blade and make sure the stone is cutting the full width of the serration.
-If needed, reset the pivot. Turn the knife so the points are pointing up into a good light. You will see shiny spots on the pips of the serrations.
-Continue sharpening until the shiny spots begin to disappear.
-Stop sharpening before you get any burr on the tips.
-Finish by running a ceramic hone through each serration to remove any burr in the serrations.
