Bread Knife Sharpening and Care
Hi Curtis, How can I sharpen a bread knife? thank you.
Posted Answers
- Purchase a sharpening stick. Most knife sets will come with one, but some people buy their knives separately and will not have a sharpening stick. You can find some sharpening sticks at the website under the additional resources or anywhere that you purchase your knives.
- Wash and dry both your knife and your sharpening stick. Starting with a dirty knife can make things hard to see.
- Hold your knife in one hand, by the handle, with the teeth pointing outward to your other hand.
- Hold your sharpening stick in the other hand by the handle.
- Line your sharpening stick up with the first valley (the dip in between the points), closest to the handle of the knife.
- Pull the sharpening stick down quickly a few times. Make sure that you are keeping the sharpening stick in the valley for each pass, only removing it to reset it at the bottom of the stick.
- Move the sharpening stick to the next valley. Repeat step 6.
- Repeat steps 6 and 7 until you have finished sharpening the last valley.
- Switch hands, putting the knife in the opposite hand and the sharpening stick in the hand that previously held the knife. Make sure the teeth are facing your other hand.
- Repeat steps 5 through 8, until you have finished the last tooth.
- Wash the knife.
