Knife Sharpening
Sliding Knife Sharpener
Sharpening kitchen knives is one of the least desired tasks in the kitchen. Not only is it dangerous when dealing with a dull knife and a newly sharpened one at that, but the tedious task of manually sharpening a knife is very time-consuming.
Using a sharpening stone takes practice and getting a desirable edge on a blade takes skill when sharpening knives. This is why electric sharpeners are a common tool in a kitchen that’s fast-paced such as restaurants. It is perhaps the most convenient way of sharpening a kitchen knife.
Some of the electric knife sharpeners though prove to be disappointing as they tend to wear down the knife and thins the blade. To those who think that electric knife sharpeners are the best and only way to preserve the quality of their high-end knives, you may have to reconsider and check out the sliding knife sharpener.
The sliding knife sharpener is increasing in popularity in commercial kitchens, restaurants, and hotels. This innovative tool combines the precision of an electric knife sharpener and the reliability of a manual sharpener.
Even more so, it is easy to operate and no experience with using knife sharpeners is necessary as you only need to insert the blade into the guiding slot. This slot is what holds the knife at the exact angle you need for sharpening.
The sliding knife sharpener includes a spring which guides your hand and allows you to make the perfect stroke for honing. The porcelain sharpening rod is sturdy enough to use for all types of blades.
With a sliding knife sharpener, there’s no need to lubricate the device every so often. Any chef or user can achieve precision with this sharpener as the knife is held at a perfect angle.
This great tool comes with two porcelain rods. For initial sharpening, the gray porcelain rod which is grittier in texture is best to use, while the smoother white rod is best for when you’re ready to put on the finishing touches.
The materials on the sliding knife sharpener are hard enough to give the blades of the knives the right edge suitable for cutting all types and sizes of food. The tool barely scratches the surfaces of the knives and doesn’t wear out the blade unlike most ordinary electric knife sharpeners do.
The sliding knife sharpener works well with different sizes and types of knives. The slots have a gentle slope for kitchen knives, pocket knives, craftsman knives, and many others. A second slot is proviced for larger knives such as those of butchers’, machetes, and even small swords.
