To get your knives as good as new again, a correct execution of knife sharpening is a must. Using a sharpening steel is an easy job and speed is not important in this. To get a good sharp knife, it is important to start at the handle and end at the tip of the knife. Also use the entire length of the steel for this. The sharpening angle between the knife and the sharpening steel is between 10 and 20 degrees and depends on how the knife is sharpened. If you use too small an angle, you will see little result because you will only polish the side of the knife. If you start using too large an angle, the angle of the knife will also change. This sharpening steel G38 can be used on all series of Global.
