How to Use Blade Sharpener Accurately?
A dull knife is dangerous to use. It requires you to apply more pressure while chopping, risking kitchen accidents inducing damage to yourself.
Blade sharpening tools available in the market are highly effective and give you no excuse to continue working with a dull knife.
You can sharpen your knives using manual/electric sharpeners or with whetstone displaying your sharpening skills. It requires little practice, saves time and money on getting blade sharpening done professionally. Before you learn to use any blade sharpener tool accurately, do a paper knife sharpening test.
Take a piece of paper (newspaper folded in half or a single sheet of computer paper). Hold it steadily up in the air with one hand and run down the knife to cut through it with the other. If your knife does not cut through the paper, it’s time for knife sharpening.
Steps to Use Manual Blade Sharpener Accurately
#1 When your knife is entirely blunt, use the ‘coarse’ setting on your manual blade sharpening tool.
Most manual blade sharpeners have two settings – ‘Coarse’ and ‘Fine.’ The coarse-setting removes steel from the blade and resharpens the edge, while the fine-setting maintains your knife in daily use.
