Home Knife Sharpening
If you're considering purchasing a knife sharpener, there are a few factors to keep in mind. The type of knives you own and how often you use them will determine the type of sharpener you need. Electric sharpeners are great for those who use their knives frequently and need a quick and efficient way to sharpen them. Manual sharpeners are a good option for those who only need to sharpen their knives occasionally or who prefer a more hands-on approach. No matter which type of sharpener you choose, Sur La Table has a wide selection to choose from.
If you're wondering "does Sur La Table sharpen knives?" the answer is yes!

FAQ List
The frequency of knife sharpening depends on how often you use your knives and the type of blades you have. As a general rule, it's recommended to sharpen your knives every 2-3 months for regular home use. However, if you frequently use your knives for heavy-duty tasks or notice a decrease in performance, it may be necessary to sharpen them more often.
Most of our home knife sharpening products are designed to sharpen straight-edged knives. While some tools may have a serrated blade sharpening option, it's important to check the product specifications or instructions to ensure compatibility. For serrated knives, it's often best to seek professional sharpening services or use specialized sharpeners specifically designed for serrated blades.
Not all home knife sharpening products are suitable for ceramic knives. Ceramic blades are extremely hard and require specialized sharpening tools that are specifically designed for ceramic materials. It's important to read the product descriptions or consult with our customer service team to find the right sharpener for your ceramic knives.
While some home knife sharpening products may offer additional functionality for sharpening scissors or other tools, it's important to check the product specifications or instructions to ensure compatibility. Keep in mind that different tools may require different sharpening techniques and accessories, so it's always best to use the appropriate sharpening tools for each specific item.
Determining the sharpness of a knife can be subjective, but there are a few indicators to look out for. A sharp knife should easily slice through food with minimal effort, and the blade should glide smoothly without tearing or crushing the ingredients. You can also perform a simple paper test by gently slicing through a piece of paper. If the knife cuts through the paper smoothly and cleanly, it's likely sharp enough for most tasks.
