Dull Knife? Here’s How to Sharpen It Fast

First, check if your knife is really dull by slicing through a piece of paper. If it tears instead of slicing, it’s time to sharpen. Grab your manual sharpener and start with the “coarse” slot for super blunt blades. Pull the knife through from base to tip 3-6 times, following the curve of the blade. You should hear a grinding sound. Switch to the “fine” slot and run the blade through 1-2 times to polish the edge. This step is key for a smooth finish. Rinse your knife with warm, soapy water and dry it off completely. Never toss it in the dishwasher—protect your edge! For daily upkeep, a quick pass through the “fine” slot after every couple hours of use keeps things sharp. If you cook a lot, consider an electric sharpener or even a whetstone for more control. Sharp knives make cooking so much easier—don’t skip this! #KitchenTips #KnifeSkills #SharpenYourKnives #Food #Cooking
