Is your kitchen knife dull and you don’t have any special sharpening tools (such as a sharpener or whetstone) at home?
Don't despair! You can quickly restore the sharpness of your tool with the help of... newspaper.
The procedure is simple and quick. You won't have to put in any special effort: even a woman can handle it.
How to sharpen a knife with a newspaper
You need to take a printed publication, fold it in half and put it on the table.
Next, you should “go over” the paper with the knife in the same way as you would during standard sharpening.
In other words, the knife should be facing the newspaper with the flat side.
The procedure should last 2-3 minutes (each side should be sharpened for 1-1.5 minutes).
As a result, the knife blade will become sharp enough: the tool can again be used for cutting food.
Why this method works
It's all about the special properties of printing ink. The ink has a certain effect on the metal.
The paper material itself also helps to achieve the desired result, especially if it is thick enough.
