MICROFORGE
Our exclusive MicroForge feature cold forges micro-facets along the cutting edge,
extending the life of your blade between sharpenings, increasing cutting control,
and creating more durability.
You only need to apply the MicroForge edge 1-2 times per year. Maintain your
MicroForged edge with standard honing using the CERAMIC HONING ROD or
the REFINE stage on the E5.
1. First sharpen your knife using the E5
sharpener.
2. Remove the Ceramic Rod from the handle.
3. Hold the handle vertically, resting the base
on a cutting board.
4. Place the tip of the blade into the
MicroForge slot and hold the knife parallel
to the cutting board.
5. Slowly PUSH entire length of blade
through slot ONCE. Keep blade resting
against handle of the honing rod as you
push the knife through.
TIP: Use moderate force, (similar pressure required to
cut a sweet potato, approx 4 lbs pressure).
6. Now hone the blade by reinstalling the
ceramic rod into the handle, with the fine,
smooth side lining up with the guides.
TIP: You can also hone using the REFINE stage
7. Make 10 slow, alternating strokes.
MicroForge works especially well for cutting
veggies, fruits, cooked proteins, and crusty
breads.
