The sharpening steel: a quick and efficient solution
The sharpening steel is ideal for all cooks in a hurry (especially chefs working in professional kitchens). In fact, it's one of the quickest ways to restore the sharpness of your knives. Simply run the blade from base to tip, on both sides, over the entire surface of the blade. The movement requires little training, and even amateur cooks can master the technique after a few tries. The hard material of the rifle wick is used to straighten the edge of the blade, or to polish it to a razor-sharp edge. Bits are available in a variety of materials, including steel (the basic material, with a hardness of around 65 HRC), diamond powder (slightly more abrasive for blunter knives) and ceramic (ideal for finishing). Shapes also vary: round, oval, flat, square... We recommend the flat bit for new users, which has the advantage of a larger surface area, and is therefore easier to use.
Efficient brands for regular use
Thesharpening market is vast, both in terms of the utensils on offer (guns, stones, electric sharpeners, etc.) and the manufacturers. Prices also vary greatly, and it's easy to get lost! At KnifeLeader, we've tried quite a few, and we can recommend Fischer sharpening guns, a renowned French manufacturer in the sharpening field! They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and it's easy to find a good, efficient gun for as little as thirty euros. The other leading brand: Dick. The rifles are elaborate, for example with double-polished square bits, heavy handles with a guard developed for safety...There's something for everyone, whatever the level of dullness of your favorite knife!
