- The best way to keep your knife in excellent condition is to sharpen it at regular intervals – once a week for ordinary household use. If a knife has become very blunt as a result 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.
- FLAKSA knife sharpener is made of porcelain and works well with knives in all steel qualities. For best result, always use a sharpener in a harder material than the knife you want to sharpener. A sharpener made of porcelain will almost never wear out, but the material itself is brittle. For that reason, it is important to handle the sharpener carefully. If you drop it, it may break.
How to use the sharpener
- Hold the sharpener firmly in one hand.
- Place the heel of the knife (closest to the handle) against the tip of the sharpener. With the knife at an angle, usually about 20 degrees, to the sharpener, swipe it against the side or sharpener using an arc motion, as shown in the figure.
- Repeat the procedure on the other side so that both sides of the blade are sharpened.
- Continue until the knife is as sharp as you want it to be, probably about 10 times on each side. Be careful when you check the sharpness of the knife!
Cleaning
- After the sharpener has been used for some time, it is normal for black marks to appear on the surface.
These are caused by contact with the metal of the knife, and simply mean that the sharpener is doing its job. If necessary you can wash and dry the sharpener by hand, but this will not get rid of the black marks.
