Sharpening your pocket knives? You can do it yourself!
So your pocket or outdoor knife is in need of a fix? Peeling your apples has become a day-job and packages are difficult to open? Why not sharpen your knife yourself? If is not difficult at all, anyone can do it. Even after sharpening a couple of times you will already start saving money and end up with razor-sharp knives. Who wouldn’t want that?
Fast & easy or razor-sharp?
When sharpening your knives keep in mind that you can do two things. On the one hand you can sharpen them quickly and easily, leaving you with reasonably good results. Perfect when you don’t have a lot of time or are not in the mood to become an expert. On the other hand you can strive for razor-sharpness: it might take a little more time and effort, but you end up with a much sharper blade. Soon even sharper than it was when you held it for the first time. The choice is yours!
