Kitchen Pro Tip: To achieve the best results, maintain a consistent angle of approximately 15 to 20 degrees between the blade and the rod while sharpening. Use light, even pressure and work along the entire length of the blade, from heel to tip. Consistent practice will help you maintain a razor-sharp edge without needing to visit a professional sharpener, prolonging the life of your favourite blades.
