  1. How To Sharpen Knives Using Knife Sharpener

  2. About Knife Sharpeners • Knife sharpeners can be convenient and effective kitchen knives & other general purpose knives..

  3. Step 1: Examining Knife Sharpener • Simple knife sharpeners only have on sharpening slot, but others have two or three. If the knife sharpener has multiple slots, the slots should be labeled according to coarseness. The coarsest slot will usually be labeled as "coarse" or "1," and the finest slot will usually be labeled with the final number in the sequence or the word "fine."

  4. Step 2: Insert Blade Into Coarsest Slot • Position the blade in a straight cutting position in between the two sharpening disks. • Keep the base of the blade as close to the disks as possible, and make sure that the blade remains perpendicular to the body of the device.

  5. Step 3: Pull Blade Through The Slot • Using light pressure, pull the blade back in a horizontal motion, drawing the blade through the disks from base to tip. • Some knife sharpeners can be held by hand as you work with them, but it's usually easiest to use your non-dominant hand to hold the knife sharpener down on a table or similar work surface.

  6. Step 4: Pass Through Same Slot Again • Return the blade to its starting position, then lightly draw it through the disks again, working from base to tip. • For each pass, start at the base and end at the tip. Do not pull the knife back and forth through the slot since doing so could damage the blade.

  7. Step 5: Repeat Process With Remaining slots • Work through the remaining slots, moving from coarsest to lightest. Draw the knife through each slot using the same technique as the first slot. • Don't skip over any of the slot levels unless the instruction manual tells you to do so.

  8. Step 6: Rinse And Dry The Knife • When you're satisfied with the sharpness of the knife, rinse away any shavings under cool, running water. Carefully dry the blade with a clean towel. • Once the knife is clean and dry, it should be ready to use again.
