Electric knife sharpeners are becoming popular in houses around the world. These are handy little devices that can sharpen a lot of knives at once without tiring the arms. They can be kept on a countertop quite easily and they don’t occupy much space either. However, being comparatively new appliances, most people don’t know how to use them. Here, we describe the right way in which you should use electric knife sharpeners.
▪ The first thing you have to do is to select the sharpening level you want. Electric knife sharpeners come with different levels of sharpening, from dull to sharp. There is a higher degree of sharpening in some electric sharpeners known as stropping. This is mostly a method to clean the sharpened blade of any metallic debris that might cling to it after the process of sharpening is completed.
▪ Since the electric sharpeners are built so that they handle most of the task of sharpening, you don’t have to worry much about the adjustment. They have an auto angle adjustment, for example.
▪ You have to select the kind of sharpening you want, whether it is for smooth or serrated knives. This adjustment will be directly provided. If you are sharpening a serrated knife, you have to sharpen only the finished side. Smooth knives can be sharpened on both sides to produce better sides.
You must remember that there are various kinds of electric knife sharpeners and your manner of using them will depend on their type. Referring to the manuals that accompany the sharpeners is something you should do. There are mainly three types of electric knife sharpeners: pull-through, spinning wheel and diamond stone. The pull-through electric knife sharpeners are the most common, while the diamond stone sharpeners are the most effective. Diamond stone sharpeners had an added benefit in that they cause any damage to the knives, i.e. they don’t change the color of the metallic part of the knives when they sharpen them.
