The sharpening is done at each use of a knife he used to have a sharp edge, straighten the edge of the blade. It is the regular maintenance of knives. It's not worth getting excited about his gun, just to straighten the edge of the blade, two on each side three passages are sufficient.
Buying a sharpening steel is needed to make this sharpening. Do not buy a gun is like a machine without espresso grinder. Ca no use to buy nice knives if they are never sharp. After a year, they will cut less and you will regret having bought fine knives.
What is important is that the hardness of the steel of the gun is higher than the knife. Rockwell hardness is . It has often been a gun at home, but it is often a big shit, all the cast. It's like Ikea knives : trash!
It is better to use a gun oval, rather long. The best guns are coated with a layer of industrial diamond powder to give them a greater hardness. As it is a bit complicated and we're here for fun, if you bought the gun 4483 / 26 cm diamond knife sharpener home WÜSTOF is perfect. Wüstof made knives Solingen in Germany, I have not mentioned for their knives that are very good but their rifles are beautiful. They are strong these Germans.
Otherwise, France, Fischer, a box of Thiers, is one of the best brands of guns. Their model did Classic ' CHROM oval 35cm longer, perfect for a carving knife, but not covered with diamonds.
For prices, it takes 60-80 € in the rifles, with or without diams . It is not much purchasing sex in the kitchen, but it is mandatory .
The sharpening operation is another. I've never been in a decade of use. This is removing material on the knife. This can be done with a sharpening stone, stone water ... But it is primarily a matter for professionals. There are shops that do it with wheels and a great know-how. So do not buy a Japanese sharpening stone. If you resist a roast beef, send out your knife at the store. Otherwise
in maintenance, it is forbidden to pass the green of the sponge (the scratchy stuff) on the blade of a knife. You can put it like reason for dismissal for serious misconduct in the employment contract of the charwoman. It removes scratches and makes prints. If buy you a Rolex , you do not clean the glass with sandpaper.

age, very close to the blade. The cut is really different. In Europe we are used to sharpen the blades at an angle, giving a squeal when cut. With Global, it's slippery, it seems that we would not even need to take his knife to cut it, more pressure, more stress, more resistance. It's magic, it is close to ecstasy.
