How to sand a knife


















You will need




  • - two-layer grinding bar;
  • - a damp towel;
  • - steel bar.




Instructions





1


Grind the knife two or three times a year. Prepare a two-layer abrasive bar. Preventing sliding on the table, put under it a damp towel. Take the knife in the hand and set its base on one of the grinding angles. With the other hand, press the tip to the coarser side of the stone at an acute angle, placing the beveled edge parallel to the surface of the grinding bar.





2


Smoothly driving the knife from right to left, move itblade on a stone in a direction perpendicular to the cutting edge at the point of contact. Remember that abrasive grains create grooves on the metal, giving the blade the shape of the nail file and increasing the cutting efficiency.





3


Turn the bar over and set the blade at an angle20 ° to its surface. While leading the blade, gradually move the point of contact to its point. Do not allow the knife to break from the stone and scratch its side. Do not break the angle of sharpening and slightly lift the handle over the stone, reaching the arc-shaped shape of the knife.





4


Handle the blade until it is formed on itsmall uniform burr. Turn the blade over and repeat the procedure on its reverse side. Make sure that both surfaces of the knife are flat and form a cutting edge resembling a saw with visible teeth visible to the naked eye. Note that such a blade is more effective than smooth, but the quality of its sharpening is short-lived.





5


For successful operation of the knife, make it work out. Use a long steel bar, often included in the set of knives, or purchase it separately. Install the cutter on the kitchen table and press firmly against it the pointed tip of the knife.





6


By tilting the blade toward the blade, draw itseveral times over the surface of the bar. Repeat the procedure on the opposite side of the blade. Remember that it is enough to finish the knife once a month.
