Knives can become dull fairly quickly. Using such knives is extremely inconvenient, so we have prepared effective ways for you to sharpen knives at home.
How to sharpen knives with a sharpener
The simplest answer to the question - what is the best way to sharpen knives at home, is to use special sharpeners. The design is a body with a handle and slots for blades. Usually they already have a predetermined sharpening angle. Inside the groove there is an abrasive suitable for different blade materials - steel, ceramics.
The sharpener itself is easy to use, you just need to insert the knife into the desired groove and pull it towards you (repeat several times to give the desired sharpness). These sharpeners have a fixed sharpening angle and usually is 20 degrees.
Use a ceramic mug or saucer
This surface can be quite coarse grit, medium grit, or fine grit, depending on what material the mug is made from. And you can use this feature to sharpen your knife.
Is it possible to sharpen a knife on a knife
Most people use the blade of another knife to sharpen the blade of their own knife. Of course, this is wrong and can damage the blades of both knives. The correct way is to use the butt of the second knife to sharpen the blade of the first.
