knife sharpener that sharpened my paring knife
I had an electric sharpener,that could not sharpen my paring knife. I ordered this sharpener and I can use it and it DOES sharpen the smaller knives.
Firestone Sharpener
Very easy to use. Sharpen knifes very quickly by easily pulling the knife through the wheels. I have owned one for 10 years and recently bought both my children, who are married, there own. Now I don't have to take my sharpener to their house every time we visit to sharpen their kitchen knifes.
absolutely the best sharpener!
sharpening knives is something i've enjoyed for decades. i've had every kind of sharpener i could find, including lansky, diamond steels, stones, and many, many others. i'm the kind of person who *always* uses a sharpening steel on my kitchen knives before every use.
in the past, friends would sometimes ask me to bring my sharpeners to touch up their knives. i've given them a firestone 2-stage - now, their knives are always in great shape (and i don't have to do it!).
here's what i do to test if a knife is sharp: i hold my thumb at a 45 degree angle with the fingertip pointing down. i then rest the edge of the blade against the nail with the flat of the knife vertical. if a knife is reasonably sharp, the weight of the blade by itself will cause the edge to dig slightly in to the nail, and it *won't* slide. however, a duller knife will slip right off. with a firestone 2-stage, i can get a really dull knife sharp in under a minute, no problem.
highly...
