Double sharpener made by Tsubamesanjo.
Actually, I want you to sharpen your knife with a whetstone. By doing so, you can make the most of the knife's potential.
However, in today's modern world, it is understandable that this cannot be said. I understand too much.
First of all, sharpening a knife with a whetstone takes some time to master the technique. Most households have knives used for cooking, so unless you're buying a disposable knife, one person in the household needs to learn how to use it.
In this modern world, it is not acceptable to waste valuable time on difficult tasks that you do not know how long it will take to master.
It is easy to understand why simple sharpeners have become so popular.
Just insert the knife into the groove of the main body filled with water and move it back and forth with light force. yes
It's easy! ! !
Yes, I will say it clearly.
Our thinking was wrong.
My selfish wish is to maximize the potential of the product!
On the other hand, there is a demand for functions that only need to be able to demonstrate their potential within a certain range that corresponds to the actual circumstances of life!
We will stop imposing the egos of manufacturers and creators.
A simple sharpener has an important role to play. Yes, it's an element that's much sought after in this modern era, which is super easy to maintain on a daily basis. An excellent product that satisfies that need.
This product has a structure with two whetstones installed. You can easily maintain the cutting edge by rough sharpening with a diamond whetstone and finishing sharpening with a ceramic whetstone.
Fill the body with water to the brim and insert the knife into the groove. Just do 10 reciprocations with light force in the order of diamond and ceramic.
The key is not to use too much force. It is OK if the whetstone rotates smoothly rather than grinding or jerking.
I think this will solve the small stress of housework that makes me feel like I can't get enough of it.
Lastly, please sharpen it with a whetstone at least once a year. Even if you don't have to do it yourself, you should be able to easily find it online these days. If you use them in combination like this, I think you will be able to use a sharp knife for a longer period of time. A selfish hope.
*Notes*
This product is a simple sharpener for double-edged knives made of stainless steel or titanium.
It cannot sharpen knives with high quality steel or ceramics, or knives with single-edged or wavy edges (deba, bread cutters, etc.).
If too much force is applied, the rotating grindstone will be damaged. Try gradually starting with a light force and find the amount of force that gives you the feeling of sharpening (this will vary depending on the hardness of the knife, etc.).
