How To Sharpen a Knife

di David_ SU Apr 10, 2025
How To Sharpen a Knife - Paudin Store

Knife Sharpening 

The difference between honing and sharpening a knife can look confusing at first glance. However, when you sharpen a knife, you're actively removing material from the blade, creating a brand new razor-sharp beveled edge.

The purpose of the honing is to move that fatigued metal back into its original position, to realign the edge. It corrects the edge without shaving off much, if any, of the blade’s material.

How often should knives be honed and sharpened?

Honing should be done often — every 2-4 times for stainless steel knives, and after each use for carbon steel knives. If you have been honing, you should need to sharpen your knives no more than once per every 1-2 years.

How to hone the Paudin Knife?

Hold the steel vertically with your left hand and place the point of the steel on a table or a cutting board. Hold the knife in your right hand and place the back of the blade against the steel at the top. Turn the knife until it's at roughly at 20-degree angle with the sharpening steel. Gently pull the knife down across the full length of the knife, maintaining a constant angle. Repeat this action 5-8 times by changing sides after every stroke.

How to sharpen the Paudin Knife?

We recommend you use a sharpening stone or a knife sharpener for safe and efficient sharpening.

Preparing your stone:

1. Before using a stone, read the manufacture’s instruction that came with your stone. The instructions will tell you if you should soak the stone in water or if it will need to be lubricated with oil while you're sharpening.

2. Place the stone on a damp cloth or towel to prevent the stone from sliding during sharpening. Make sure that the non-slip side of the stone facing down.

3. Put a small line of oil or water down the middle of the stone. Gently massage and spread the oil or water evenly across your sharpening stone.

Sharpening your knife:

1. Place your knife at a stone at an angle of 10 -20 degrees. Hold your hand on the blade, but not directly on the cutting edge. Then slowly move the knife down and across the stone with a little pressure, starting at the heel and finishing at the tip.

2. Repeat this action around five to ten times – depending on the dullness of the blade - always maintaining the angle between the blade and the stone.

3. Now turn the knife to the other side and sharpen the reverse side using the same motion. Always sharpen the knife evenly on every side to remain the blade balanced.

4. Return the knife to the original side, but this time draw the knife from the tip to the heel. Repeat this motion 5 times.

5. Flip to the reverse side and sharpen from tip to heel five times.

6. Turn your sharpening stone over to the fine side and repeat steps 1-5.

Sharpening knife by using Paudin knife sharpener:

Paudin kitchen knife sharpener has 3 levels. The first is tungsten carbide blades used for coarse sharpening and fast polishing. The second consists of ceramic blades that are used for fine grinding. The third is made of special carbide blades suitable for scissor grinding.

Testing the sharpness of the knife

If you want to know if your knife is sharp enough or needs additional sharpening, use this simple test to check. Hold a piece of paper up and try to slice down through it using the knife. If the knife is sharp enough, it should easily cut through the paper. If not, you'll need to sharpen it a little more.

Cleaning the knife and the sharpening stone

As soon as you've finished sharpening, wash and dry your knife. Then clean the stone according to the instruction manual. For example, for a water stone, wash off any of the residue and store it in a dry cloth until you need to use it again. Store your stone in a dry, cool place

NC4 Universal Classic 4-PC Knife Set
J Pearson
Well made, good-looking knife block made of bamboo.

This knife block is made of solid wood, stands up well as designed and knives remain in place thanks to a strong magnet. It also looks very good. I find it most useful when I'm cooking on the kitchen island. I put the knives I'm going to use on this block so they are right in front of me, ready to use, get out of the way and safe.

Beautiful bamboo knife block that would look great in any kitchen!

This bamboo magnetic knife block is extremely thick and heavy duty. The magnet in them is strong and hangs on to any size knife with ease. It also looks stylish and would look great in any kitchen. It keeps you r knives neat and organized. I myself don't make many large meals anymore, and don't feel safe leaving knives displayed on my counter, so I put the knife block away when not in use. Great investment for the chef in the family and I could easily see this as lasting a lifetime.
