The greatest cutlery brands have of course their knife sharpeners. As an example, you don’t have toabosultely use a Wusthof knife sharpener if you have Wusthof knives, but we know many chefs who have found your manufacturer of choice will tend to stick with them as trusted cooking partners.
These sharpeners are doing great job, usually in 2 stage :
- First stage hones and reshape the edge.
- Second stage smooth and polish the edge.
That was easy, right ?! Note that you dont run the blade back and forth, you only run the blade from heel to tip towards you, then repeat the movement but you don’t do the movement in the opposite way.
The price of such knife sharperners vary between $20 and $60.
