Sharpening a Knife with Another Knife: a Handy Tip.
Want to sharpen your old kitchen knife?
But you have nothing on hand to remedy this problem: no sharpening stone, no rifle intended for this use ...
Fortunately, my father used a very simple trick to sharpen a knife.
With this trick, no need for specific equipment: another knife will do! Look :
How to do
1. Take a 2nd knife.
2. Use this second knife as a whetstone, rubbing the blade of the first on the blade of the second, at an angle of about 30 °.
3. Use the blade to move back and forth alternating each side of the latter: a small metallic whistle helps you to perceive if your movement is correct.
4. Test your blade on a piece of paper to see if the sharpening is sufficient.
Results
There you go, you can get back to carving your vegetables and meats, your knife is operational again.
Note: it is better to find another knife whose blade is the same size (approximately) as the first.
