Want to sharpen your old kitchen knife?
But you have nothing at hand to overcome this problem:no whetstone, no gun intended for this purpose...
Fortunately, my father used a very simple trick to sharpen a knife.
With this trick, you don't need any specific equipment:another knife will do! Watch:
1. Take a 2nd knife.
2. Use this second knife as a sharpening stone, rubbing the blade of the first on the blade of the second, respecting an angle of approximately 30°.
3. Make back and forth movements with the blade alternating each side of the latter:a small metallic whistle helps you to perceive if your movement is correct.
4. Test your blade on a sheet of paper to check if the sharpness is sufficient.
There you go, you can get back to cutting your vegetables and meats, your knife is operational again.
Note: it is better to find another knife whose blade is the same size (approximately) as the first one.
But if you have other tips for sharpening a knife very simply, please explain all this to us in a comment. We can't wait to read you!
