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 in order to sharpen the blade, one will be using a stone or a rock that has a flat shape which is around the size of a regular hand. Now take note that this is the thing that one will use to make the knives sharp. Now before doing anything with the rock, he has to put it in water and clean it up 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.

To do this, one must first get his hands on a big nail and of course a hammer. Now he will be using the hammer and the nail to break the initial exterior of the rock so that he may be able to get into the interior. Now all he has to do here is to stick the nail in the middle of the stone and hammer it all the way in.

Once there is already a nail inside, then one should now get a drill and use the hole as a reference point. Now the drill will be able to get the job done as it is strong enough to break the stone into two. So make sure to put the drill directly into the hole and start drilling into the rock.

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 reason as to why he should make sure to push the knife onto the stone slowly is because the blade get damaged if it is placed too hard. Now if the blade becomes damaged, it will not be as effective as it used to be anymore. So always keep in mind these tips when trying to sharpen a dull knife.
