Check the condition of your knife
Before you start sharpening, be sure to check the condition of your knife.
By setting some objectives before you start sharpening, you will be able to sharpen your knives efficiently and accurately.
When checking, please refer to the following points.
・Are there any spills on the blade?
・Is the thickness of the blade appropriate?
・Is the knife distorted?
・Is the knife deformed from its original state?
By checking these things, you can determine if the knife is in a condition that you can repair it by yourself or if you need to ask a professional store to do so.
Especially, if there is a big chip on the blade or the knife itself is distorted, we recommend you to consult a specialized knife store instead of trying to repair it by yourself.
