How to Use a Knife Sharpener

A manual knife sharpener is actually really easy to use as well. You will want to hold the knife against a flat service with the sharp edge upwards. From there you will take the knife sharpener and pull it from handle end to tip along the blade. You don’t want to use too much force when using the manual knife sharpener. If the blade is extremely dull you will want to repeat this motion about 6 times. After you have sharpened your kitchen knife you will want to make sure to wash it with dish soap and water.
