Say goodbye to dull knives!!!

Sharpening stone for knives

I have dull knifes – who doesn’t? Kitchen knives, pocket knives, etc. I also have a couple of pairs of scissors that are a pain to cut with, so I usually end up tearing or using a knife to open up a bag. 

Cutting raw meat to prepare or vegetables for a meal preparation took somewhat longer than expected.

 

I got this sharpening stone, because it was cheaper than having to replace all of my cutting utensils and scissors. I like that the stone has 2 convenient rubber base holders for each side for easy storage. It comes with a small black silicone base you set it on when it is in use. It is surprisingly non-stick and really hold a grip on the counter top. I didn’t really know how to use one of these, because I never had one that you had to add water to. It comes with 2 different sides: 1000 grit and 3000 grit.

I have used both grits on a couple of items, just to see if I was doing it correctly. I submerged the side I wanted to use in water, like it said, for about 10 minutes and set it out to put on the mat. 

You have to make sure it stays wet, or else it won’t work – I found that out. I took a pair of my scissors and used the 1000 grit – you go at an angle and you go side to side. I did this, and when I was done with both sides, they were better than when I first bought them! 

When I was done using the stone, I wiped it down, put the base holders back on either side, wiped down the base mat, and set it on it, and placed it on the corner of my counter.
