Part of my resolution into a healthier, stronger me this year is to focus on more homemade meals. This means cutting back and eating less of the processed foods and salt-laden products that we love when we’re eating out. It’s tough to make that switch 100% I’m taking baby steps, a little at a time.
An important part of preparing home made meals is a nice, sharp knife. I have a knife that I use for everything. Whether it’s chopping meats, veggies, or even sashimi. A knife though is really only as good as it’s blade. A dull knife is about as useful as a pencil without the lead.
For very dull knives or regular maintenance, stage 1 is advised once every 6 months. Stage 2 is more of your general every day maintenance sharpener that you can use once a week. Stage 1 involves a Tungsten carbide blade that shapes the edge of blade prior to it being honed by the Stage 2 ceramic rollers. The ceramic serves to remove any burs and minor imperfections left by Stage 1.
In terms of ergonomics, it has a nice easy handle that can be flipped either way for lefties or righties. The base of the sharpener is a soft thin layer of foam that works to also provide grip on the countertop. Overall, it’s an user-friendly design. I personally feel that it’s a little bit bigger than I’d like it to be since my last knife sharpener was about half the size of a yogurt cup.
