Every knife blade is ground uniquely to form a sharpened edge. Each side of the blade that has honed an edge is referred to as a bevel. If you look closely at the blade of your kitchen knives, you should notice a part at the very edge that angles more steeply–this is the bevel.
Kitchen knives are easily one of the most commonly used tools on the planet. They are simple yet used for a variety of culinary tasks on a daily basis. But the very cutting edge that we rely on — and the source of the knife’s power–is nearly invisible to the unaided eye, a reason why we seem to take these trusty instruments for granted.
The majority of kitchen knives are flat ground, meaning the blade begins to taper from the spine to the edge. However, knife edges come in a variety of styles and differences in the way the blade is ground to make it sharp. If you look closely at the blade of your kitchen knives, you should notice a part at the very edge that angles more steeply–this is the primary bevel. Most of the time people refer to the Edge Angle—see the image below. Typically, this is about 15º to 30º for kitchen knives.
The flexible sharpener handle is designed to effortlessly sharpen a variety of cutting edges with precision. It accommodates V-shaped edges ranging from 17 to 28 degrees, as well as straight and serrated edges like those found on bread knives. Additionally, it can sharpen scissors and uniquely shaped blades, including snake-shaped daggers and specialized hawkbill knives. This versatile tool enhances the performance and maintenance of numerous cutting instruments, making it an essential addition to any toolkit.

This blog post contains expert tips for using your adjustable Knife sharpener effectively to achieve professional results every time.
One of the key features of the Block Sharpener is its flex design, which allows the honing rods to adjust to many different types of cutting edges. Before you begin sharpening, take a moment to familiarize yourself with this unique feature. The flex design ensures that the sharpener conforms to the shape of your blade, providing consistent and precise sharpening from tip to heel.
Grip and control are essential when using a sharpener, especially when working on hard, slippery surfaces. That’s why Block Sharpener features a non-slip grip overshot on both the bottom and top sides of the handle. This rubber grip provides excellent traction, allowing you to maintain a firm hold on the sharpener as you sharpen your blades. Additionally, the thumb grip on the top side of the handle gives you even greater control, particularly when sharpening outdoors or in unconventional settings.
Achieving the perfect sharpening angle is crucial for getting the best results with your Block Sharpener. While the flex design helps to accommodate a range of angles, it’s still important to find the optimal angle for your specific blade. As a general rule of thumb, aim for a 20-degree angle for most kitchen knives and a slightly steeper angle for hunting or tactical knives. Experiment with different angles to find the one that works best for your needs.
Maintaining consistent pressure while sharpening is key to achieving a uniform edge on your blades. With Block Sharpener’s ergonomic design, applying the right amount of pressure is easy and intuitive. Use smooth, even strokes to guide the sharpener along the length of the blade, ensuring that each pass covers the entire cutting edge. Avoid pressing too hard, as this can lead to excessive wear on the blade and uneven sharpening.
To keep your blades performing at their best, it’s important to incorporate regular sharpening into your maintenance routine. Block Sharpener makes this process quick and simple, so there’s no excuse for dull blades. Make it a habit to sharpen your knives for frequently used tools after each use or at least once a week. This will help prolong your blades’ life and ensure that they remain sharp and effective for years to come.
Block Sharpener isn’t just for kitchen knives—this versatile tool can handle a wide range of blades and cutting edges. Block Sharpener is up to the task, from scissors and gardening clippers to hatchets and cleavers. The flex design and non-slip grip make sharpening even the most odd-shaped blades easy to sharpen with precision and accuracy. So whether you’re a chef, gardener, outdoorsman, or DIY enthusiast, Block Sharpener has you covered.
Like any skill, sharpening takes practice to master. Don’t be discouraged if you don’t get perfect results right away. Take your time, experiment with different techniques, and don’t be afraid to ask for help if needed. With patience and persistence, you’ll soon become a sharpening pro with Block Sharpener.
