COMMITMENT
In order not to give our customers products that are not well-grilled or have uneven baking,
The knife you purchased is sharpened to mean inspection before you take it home.
How to sharpen (double-edged)
1) Flatten a whetstone
First, check if the surface of the grinding wheel is flat.
If the grinding surface is not flattened, it won't hit the edge of the knife, so you need to flatten the grinding wheel with a grinding wheel for face fixing.
2) Sharpen one side at a time
After flattening, sharpen the knife one side at a time.If the grinding wheel is moving, it will be fixed by laying a cloth underneath.
Hold the handle firmly with your dominant hand and support the knife with your thumb and forefinger so that it doesn't shake.
Hold down the tip of the knife with the index finger and middle finger of the other hand, and raise it a little so that one or two coins can fit in. When you press it down, it feels like you're applying force. (You can grind under the finger that suppresses the tip of the knife, so move your fingers little by little.)
3) Sharpen the other side
Overall, if there is a return on the edge of the knife, it is proof that it is sharpened properly, so if that happens, turn the sharpening surface upside down and sharpen it with the same technique (the hand holding the handle does not change left or right).
4) Finish sharpening (only those who use finish sharpening)
On the other side, if the edge of the knife is returned as a whole, if there is a finishing abrasive, it can be sharpened by raising the angle a little more than before, so if there is no finishing abrasive or if there is no finishing abrasive, it can be rubbed lightly with a newspaper.
How to sharpen (single-edged)
1) Flatten a whetstone
First, check if the surface of the grinding wheel is flat.
If the grinding surface is not flattened, it won't hit the edge of the knife, so you need to flatten the grinding wheel with a grinding wheel for face fixing.
2) Sharpen one side at a time
After flattening, sharpen the knife one side at a time.
If the grinding wheel is moving, it will be fixed by laying a cloth underneath.
Hold the handle firmly with your dominant hand and support the knife with your thumb and forefinger so that it doesn't shake.
Hold down the tip of the knife with the index finger and middle finger of the other hand, and sharpen it with the feeling of applying force when pushing the edge according to the angle of the sharpening knife. (The lower part of the finger that holds down the edge of the knife will be sharpened, so move your fingers little by little.)
3) Sharpen the other side
Overall, if the edge of the knife is turned back, it is proof that it is sharpened properly. If that happens, turn the sharpening side upside down and let the back side lie flat, and sharpen it as if you are applying force when pressing it. (The hand holding the handle does not change from side to side.)
4) Finish sharpening (only those who use finish sharpening)
On the other side, if the edge of the knife is returned as a whole, if there is a finishing abrasive, it can be sharpened by raising the angle a little more than before, so if there is no finishing abrasive or if there is no finishing abrasive, it can be rubbed lightly with a newspaper.
About grinding wheels
We use a number of grinding wheels, such as rough grinding wheels → medium grinding wheels → finishing grinding wheels, but I think it is difficult for your home to have all the grinding wheels ready.
I think it would be good for such a person to choose [medium grinding wheel] first when purchasing a grinding wheel.
There are different numbers of grinding wheels depending on the particle size, but among the medium grinding wheels, it is easy to attach a knife to about 1000-1200, so please refer to it.
Of course, depending on the broken knife condition, it may be faster to start with a rough whetstone, so in that case, it might be good to have a rough whetstone number 200.
