What happens here

Once the burr is formed on the pocket knife, switch the abrasive belt to the 6000-grit (fine/honing) belt. This is done by flipping down the guide, slipping off the old belt, and installing the new one, then pulling the trigger briefly to self-align it. Ensure the knife sharpening guide is flipped back up. Again, use the 25-degree angle setting. Draw the knife blade through the sharpener several times on each side with the fine belt, applying light pressure, to remove the burr and create a polished, razor-sharp edge. Finally, test the knife's sharpness by attempting to cleanly slice through a piece of paper.

Goal: Switch to a finer grit belt to hone the knife edge and remove the burr, then test its sharpness by cutting paper.
