Fine-grit sharpening stone or honing rod
WD-40 lubricant
Clean cloth or paper towel
Instructions:
Prepare the Sharpening Surface: Place the sharpening stone on a stable surface, ensuring it won’t move during use. If using a honing rod, hold it securely in one hand.
Apply WD-40: Spray a small amount of WD-40 directly onto the sharpening stone or honing rod. Alternatively, you can spray WD-40 onto the blade of the knife itself.
Sharpening Motion: Hold the knife at a consistent angle (typically around 20 degrees) against the sharpening stone or honing rod. Using gentle pressure, move the blade across the surface in a sweeping motion, starting from the base of the blade and working towards the tip. Repeat this motion several times on each side of the blade.
Test the Sharpness: After sharpening, carefully wipe the blade clean with a cloth or paper towel to remove any residual WD-40. Test the sharpness of the knife by gently slicing through a piece of paper or soft fruit. If the blade cuts smoothly with minimal resistance, it’s ready for use.
Maintenance: To maintain the sharpness of your knife, regularly hone the blade with a honing rod and repeat the sharpening process as needed.
