buy a new sharpener

Buying a new sharp knife is not enough. You know why? It’s because, in time, your once sharp knives will be dull. They won’t cut it anymore. And the reasons is that they constantly are being exposed to moist, foods, and other harmful environments during their lifetime. And all those things make the knives get out of shape quickly.

That’s why the solution is to always buy a new knife sharpener whenever you buy a new set of kitchen knives. That tool alone will save you a lot of money, time and help keep you away from the frustration of using dull knives. But what are the main criteria of a good knife sharpener that you should buy?

The first thing you need to know before buying is to make a clear budget of how much you would spend to bring home a decent sharpener. There are many products on the market right now. And whenever you go shopping, you will see products with a varying price range from just about $30 to over $200. But if you don’t want to burn a hole in your pocket, I suggest you should put away something around $50 to be safe.

Another important note to keep in mind is that you should try something like an electronic knife sharpener if the traditional way of sharpening with whetstone doesn’t suit you. An electric sharpener is much more expensive comparing to just a tradition whetstone. But it will give you complete peace of mind when sharpening your knives since most of the work and settings are preset.
