The lighter the sroke, the sharper the edge !!
Mr. Harsey, did I miss anything ?!?!

I tried this yesterday on my in-laws kitchen set and Sum-of-bitch if this technique didn't work like a charm. It took about 10 minutes to figure out the correct angle and pressure but damn those blades could pop hairs off my forearm when I was done.
Thanks for the tip. My kitchen set will be getting this treatment very soon.
