Saturate a soft cloth with dish soap.
-
Rub the cloth (with dish soap) over the surface of the knife, carefully. This will lubricate the knife, which is important while sharpening.
-
Lay the sharpening stone on a table or other stable, flat surface. Ensure that you keep the sharpening stone in the same position throughout the sharpening process.
-
Place the Cutco knife on the sharpening stone at a 20-degree angle or slightly tilted. Starting from the tip of the blade to the handle, move the knife in a circular motion--ensuring that the sharpening stone remains still. Do this for the one side of the blade.
-
Flip the knife over and repeat step 4--moving the blade from the tip to the handle in a circular motion. It is important to sharpen both sides of the knife the exact same way. If you don't, the blade won't be as sharp as it should be.
