How do you sharpen a Solingen knife?
To sharpen, place the knife on the sharpening steel at an angle of 15 to 20 degrees and pull it along the sharpening steel from top to bottom without much pressure. Make sure that you move the knife from the inside out so that the entire cutting surface is resharpened. Then remove the residue with a damp cloth.
What is Solingen steel?
Solingen steel, used in making knives, scissors, razors, and surgical instruments, is world famous for its excellence. Solingen was chartered in 1374 and has been known for its fine blades since the Middle Ages. It belonged to the duchy of Berg until 1600 and passed to Prussia in 1815.
Which direction is best to sharpen a knife?
If you’re using a small portable sharpener, stroke the blade in nearly a straight direction. Remember to always cut into the stone and never pull or drag your edge backwards. The blade edge should face in the same direction as your stroke. So, you’re essentially moving the metal away from the edge.
