Sharpening Steel recommendation:

• Please position the steel vertically over any suitable surface.
• Select the proper angle: in general, most of EKA knives are sharpened to an approximately 20-degree angle, hold your knife at a 20- degree angle where you'll position your knife.
• Steel the Edge: while holding your knife at a 20-degree angle to the steel, take alternating passes with your knife across the steel applying light to medium pressure. Take about a half dozen gentle slicing passes moving across the full length of your blade from heel to tip is all what is needed. Remember to give each side the same number of strokes to maintain an even cutting edge.
