Proper maintenance of any equipment is important and when it comes to looking after your kitchen knives, in the interests of both safety and hygiene, it is more important than ever. If you are going to take the plunge and invest in a decent set of knives then you may as well spend a few extra pounds and invest in a decent set of accessories. If your knives are kept properly then they can become a decent long-term investment.
Keeping your knives sharp is one of the most important aspects of maintaining your knife set and investing in a good sharpening tool makes a great start. Manual stone sharpeners - usually using the rough cut stone Whetstone - or ceramic steel devices are popular sharpening tools, they allow the user to pick the level of sharpness required and therefore tailor it to their needs. These devices are simple to use and work by the user rubbing the knife up and down on the surface until a desired level of sharpness has been attained.
An alternative to this is using an electrical sharpener which takes a simpler approach - you simply put the knife into the device, spin the wheel and the knife will be automatically sharpened. Unfortunately many electrical sharpeners do not allow for user input so if you are looking for a specific cut on your knife you may need to take to the manual option.
