- What angle should I set for my knives?

- No. Cangshan states it is not for serrated knives or blades sharpened on only one side, such as sashimi knives.

- Cangshan recommends sharpening kitchen knives at least twice a year to keep the edge cutting properly. Use the ceramic stage for quick touch-ups between full sharpenings.

- Which stage do I use first?
- Start with the coarse tungsten carbide stage to restore a dull edge, then finish on the fine ceramic stage to hone it.
