The E5 includes One Touch Programming, providing 3 stages:
*Press and hold for 3 seconds to begin the untimed cycle.
The E5 UPGRADE KIT provides additional angle guides to maintain traditional edge
geometries, if preferred:
15° EAST GUIDES — For Asian style knives.
20° WEST GUIDES — For European style knives.
MASTER BELT KIT — For more sharpening applications.
E5 Upgrade Kit sold separately at retailers or worksharpculinary.com.

The 17° guides create an optimal edge on any straight edge knife.
SHARPEN | CLICK 2 TIMES, QUICKLY | CYCLE: 90 SECONDS
For best results, complete the full timed cycle.
SHARPENING BASICS
1. Insert the heel of the knife into the left sharpening
guide, keeping it up against the leather lining and
softly resting on the front edge roller.
2. Using light pressure, slowly pull your knife blade
through the sharpening guide (8” knife = 8 seconds).
3. Repeat on the right guide. Continue alternating
sides until the machine automatically shuts off.
TIP: The sharpener will automatically decrease
in speed as it switches from the SHARPEN
stage to the REFINE stage. The front light will
flash letting you know when it will change speed,
and when the cycle is almost complete.
4. Test for sharpness (we recommend slicing a tomato
or bell pepper).
A. If the blade slices well, proceed to the
CERAMIC HONING ROD section.
B. If your blade doesn’t slice easily, repeat steps
1–4 using SHAPE stage (click 3 times, quickly).
TIP: If you have repeated SHAPE stage
3 times through and blade still doesn’t slice
easily, we recommend the REPAIR AND
RESTORE recipe in the E5 UPGRADE
KIT (sold separately) for faster results.
Keep the knife lightly resting against the
leather lining and on rollers as you pull
through slowly.

CERAMIC HONING ROD

For best results, use built-in
angle guides.
1. Insert the ceramic rod into the handle.
2. Hold the handle vertically with the rubber tip of
the honing rod resting on a cutting board.
3. Place the heel of your knife against one of the
guides to establish the proper sharpening angle.
While maintaining the angle established by the
guide, slowly draw the entire length of blade,
from heel to tip, along the full length of the
ceramic rod. Use light pressure.
4. Repeat 10 slow, alternating strokes.
TIP: Using light pressure, make 10 alternating
strokes. Lighter pressure creates sharper results.

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.
MicroForge works especially well for cutting veggies, fruits, cooked proteins, and crusty breads.
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.

flat side facing up, staying on the right side of
sharpener
