How to sharpen a ceramic knife at home

When purchasing ceramic knives, you must understand that sooner or later they will also require sharpening, just like regular metal knives.

Advice! If you decide to use ceramic knives, don’t skimp on buying them. Of course, I want to buy a whole set, and even for 1000 rubles. But such knives are very fragile, the blade quickly crumbles. And, most likely, the second time you will not risk buying similar Chinese counterfeits.
I bought expensive Japanese knives that have served me for more than 10 years. Sharpening is required once every 3 years. To sharpen ceramics, you don’t have to buy an expensive sharpener at the store.

How to sharpen a ceramic knife yourself at home

I’ll tell you a secret and tell you how to avoid unnecessary expenses and sharpen your knives yourself.
1. I take an ordinary ceramic mug or plate.

2. I tilt the knife at an angle of approximately 45%, and, carefully, without pressing hard on the knife, I draw the blade along the entire length against the edge of the mug.

3.Sharpening actions should be directed in one direction, from the base of the handle to the edge of the blade.

4. There is no need to move the knife back and forth across the mug or plate.
5. 5-6 movements and your knife is sharpened.

Bottom line

Professional grinders and sharpening tools for ceramic knives are undoubtedly worthy of attention. But, I'll be honest with you. I didn’t notice any difference between sharpening on a mug and grinding stone.
Any woman can sharpen a knife like this on her own.
