they will only require a touch-up sharpening on the ceramic rod.
Follow the ‘Honing Your Knives’ instructions to re-establish a sharp edge.
If they are not as sharp as you want, return to "Sharpening Your Knives" instructions
and perform 6 strokes (3 per side) and then nish on the honing rod for 10 strokes (5
