How To Sharpen a knife
This knife sharpening how to will hopefully teach you how to sharpen a knife. Knife sharpening is an art and a science. Steels are used to realign the edge on a knife. Sharpening Stones are used to sharpen the edge once it has grown dull through ordinary use. Most good stones come with a coarse side and a fine side. If your knife is dull, use the coarse side first. Place the sharpening stone on a damp cloth or rubber mat to keep it from moving. Then draw the blade toward you using a 20 degree angle and applying an even moderate pressure. Make strokes of equal number on each side of the blade. After about ten strokes on each side, flip the stone over and move on to the finer grit. Wash the particles off and finish by honing your knife on a steel. A quicker and easier way to sharpen knives is with an electric knife sharpener. The Chef's Choice knife sharpeners are high quality, easy to use sharpeners that put a razor sharp edge on a knife. All you do is turn the unit on, draw the blade slowly through each stage and in minutes, you can restore your knives to factory or better sharpness. We recommend the model 120.
