Instructions for use 

Step 1- draw the knife blade through tungsten carbide slot approx 3 - 4 times to sharpen the knife
Step 2 - open the rod - grip the casing firmly and twist the cylinder at the end (opposite of the tungsten carbide) anticlockwise 
step 3 - when rod is all the way out of casing, twist the cylinder clockwise to lock rod in place. 
Step 4 - know your angle; place the end of the sharpener on a stable surface; draw the knife edge down the rod (as if you were attempting to slice a thin layer off the rod); maintain a consistent angle using light pressure. Maintaining consistent angle is neccesary for the best results.
Step 5 - repeat motion 3 - 4 times nd repeat the process on the other side. Repeat until is sharp.
