As I shared in another earlier post in the forum I am just begining to learn how to use the Sharpmaker. I re-profiled two kitchen/chef's knives that I "mangled" earlier with a very cheap sharpener and was able to get pretty good results all the way through the Ultra Fine Triangle Rods.

Later this week I will be getting the Tenacious I ordered and I want to treat this knife correctly. Of course, I have reviewed the DVD and several really informative YouTube videos. However, I want to boil all of this great information down to a set of Top Ten written Rules I can review at a glance just before sharpening my knives... kinda like a cheat sheet. I am interested in knowing your thoughts.

Thanks in advance!!!
