IKEA SKARANDE Knife Sharpener
INTRODUCTION
The best way to keep your knife in excellent condition is to sharpen it at regular intervals – once a weekfor ordinary household use. If a knife has become very blunt as aresult of long use or carelessness, or if the cutting edge has become damaged, you may need to have the blade professionally sharpened to restore its edge.
Good to know
The knife sharpener can be used with all knives, regardless of steel quality.
The knife sharpener has three different slots for fine, medium or coarse
sharpening. To maintain an edge that is already sharp, simply use “fine
sharpening” (slot number 3), but if the edge has become blunt and needs to be
restored, it is recommended to finalise all three steps.
How to use the knife sharpener
Open the cover by pushing the clip under the knife sharpener.
Fill the container with water. The container needs to be filled with water
during all times when the knife sharpener is in use. The water is needed to
cool down the knife blade and also makes the knife run smoothly through the
slot. Start by placing the knife in the first slot and gently pull the knife
back and forth. Bear in mind that it is important to not apply too much
pressure on the knife, as this can damage the wheels. Move the knife to the
second slot and repeat the procedure. Finally place the knife in the third
slot to fine tune the edge.
Pull the knife through each slot about 15-20 times.The number of strokes
required will depend on the material and the condition of the knife. If the
knife is still not sharp enough, start over with the first slot and repeat all
three steps.
Clean the sharpener by running it under cold water. When the knife has been
sharpened it needs to be cleaned before use.
