The Process Of Knife Sharpening Cleveland Ohio

By Jaclyn Hurley


There are times that knives would end up a little bit dull because it has already been used for a long time. Now if one would want his blade to remain sharp so that it can still slice objects easily, then he would have to learn how to sharpen it. Now if this is the first time that one is doing this, then here are knife sharpening cleveland ohio tricks that may help.

Now before one would even start with the process itself, he has to make sure that he would get himself a stone or rock that has a smooth surface. Now for those who do not know, the stone will be able to sharpen the blade if the blade is grazed against the rock. So before even starting, one has to put the stone in water to clean it a little bit.

Now the very first thing that one should know is that he will not be using the smooth side of this rock to sharpen the knife. He will be using the rough edge of the rock in order to make sure that the blade becomes sharp. Now in order to get the rough edge, he has to first break the stone into two.

Now to do this process, one would be needing a nail, a hammer, and of course a drill. Now the goal of this process is to first make sure that the outer shell of the rock has already been shattered so the inner part is revealed. So in order to do this, one must first create a hole in the stone by hammering a nail into it.

So now that there is a hole in the middle of the rock, then one can now use a drill to further break down the stone. With the exterior already broken, one may now bring down the interior part with the drill that he has. So he has to drill the stone all the way down so that it will just become two pieces right away.

Of course there would be times when the stone is too stubborn to go all the way down. When this happens, one should use a saw to slice the stone into two parts. So when one now has two pieces of the stone, he should take one stone and lay it down on a very sturdy table that will not break.

Now the next thing to do would be to place the blade on to the rough part of the stone and stroke it. Now it is very important to make sure that one uses soft but quick movements when sharpening. Now it is possible that one would get hurt while he is making the blade sharp as there are a lot of accidents that may happen here.

Another thing to always keep in mind is to never really push the knife too hard onto the rock because doing this might actually damage the metal. Now if the blade becomes damaged, then it will obviously not be as useful as it was before. So in order to prevent this, one has to make sure to push the knife lightly.
