#RepairCafe Guide - Sharpening knives and scissors

Excerpt: "Albert recommends Japanese #whetstones instead [of a knife sharpener]. These are rectangular blocks grinding stone [I use one of these]. 'Many people know them. They are grey and light grey. You can buy them at the hardware store and you can get your knives pretty sharp with them.' With these sharpening stones, it’s vital to always sharpen the knife at the same angle. 'You have to keep the angle constant and go over the stone with it. If you start twisting your knife, you’ll never get it sharp.'

"There are all kinds of tutorials and instructional videos available on the internet about sharpening knives."
