The Importance of Knife Sharpeners
Every chef knows the frustration of a dull knife. Replacing knives can be extremely costly. Instead of constantly replacing blunt knives, why not consider investing in a reliable knife sharpener? There are many options available, such as honing rods, manual knife sharpeners, and electric knife sharpeners. Before picking which sharpener to get, consider factors like ease of use, durability, and price when making your decision. Remember, a sharp knife also enhances safety in the kitchen.
Our Selection of Knife Sharpeners
Knife and Scissor Shear Sharpener
Easily sharpen knives and scissors with the 2-Stage Pull Through Sharpener. Its ceramic rods in coarse and fine grits ensure quick sharpening. The safety grip provides protection and stability. Ideal for all western-style blades.
Sharpening Steel
The sharpening steel, also known as a sharpening rod, rejuvenates your knife's edge. To ensure your knives maintain their sharpness, you should regularly run them across a sharpening steel after use. This process helps prevent the knife from wearing out quickly. The sharpening steel is made of high carbonized and hard chrome-plated steel.
Sharpening Stones
A sharpening stone, also known as a whetstone, is used for honing knives. By rubbing the blade against the stone with a controlled motion, the user can remove metal, creating a sharper edge. The key is to maintain the correct angle and choose a fine-grained stone, ideally around 3000 grit, for optimal results. This fine grain not only smoothens out imperfections but also minimizes blade wear during the sharpening process.
Stropping Block
To finalize a knife's razor-sharp edge, a stropping block realigns and smoothens the blade, without removing any metal.
