The blades can be honed individually with an ordinary
oilstone,
Make sure your oilstone is not worn in the center. It
must be flat.
Be sure to remove the burr on the flat side.
If the blades are nicked, they must be replaced or re-
ground; They can be reground several: times until they
become 9/16 in. wide. Never install reground blades less
than 9/16 in. wide.
Have your knives reground by someone who is corn*
petent. Look in the "YeI|ow Pages" of you r telephone
