How to sharpen a knife when there is neither a grinding wheel, nor sandpaper or other good at hand, how could one sharpen a dull knife? Believe me, there is an object for sharpening a knife in almost every kitchen. This is an ordinary mug! Ceramic or clay is not very important.


A plate or some other item of kitchen utensil may also come up, the main thing is that the edge should be free of glossy coating (enamel) on the back side. See picture.


In general, we take the knife in one hand, into the second mug and sharpen the cutting edge of the knife with reciprocating movements.




We check.


Cuts perfectly! And do not worry about the dishes - nothing happened to her, not a bit.

PS: After sharpening, it is necessary to rinse the knife in water to remove particles formed during sharpening. Well and accordingly do not forget to wash the mug.

    This is not sharpening, but editing. With the same success, you can use the butt of another knife. If the PK is killed, then at least use the bottom of the bathtub, without a grindstone (at least one), grinding is not an option.

      Right. This is similar to the action of musat, which cooks rule the knives after almost every operation, at least daily. That is, initially there must be a correct sharpening, and this is only a way to keep it longer.

    nuuu, the thought is true in the right direction, but without a sharpener or at least musat, this crutch will work for one evening, no one will rub on the mug for a year)

    In emergency situations I had to grind on a brick. Not comfortable, but you can sharpen the knife on a red brick.

    Think of the news! We, the Uzbeks, have always done this, I have known this since childhood, and I still point out knives on the back of the bottom of the bowl.
    All my colleagues at work, when I cook pilaf for them and put on my Uzbek knife with a type-setting handle on my belt, and then grind it, for cutting meat, onions, carrots - they are surprised to see my manipulations!

    Well, now, now you know about this method!
    Try it, it is very simple!

    Only be careful - nevertheless, a hand with a bowl (or any ceramic mug, cup) and a sharpened knife close dangerously close during reciprocating movements when sharpening.

    Raheem!
    We, Russians, unfortunately, rarely write so competently and with such a syllable in our native language, not to mention Uzbek.
    And if you are not a professional fililog ...
    In general, I take off my hat! ☺

    Yes, when there is no whetstone on hand, the knife can be completely corrected with ceramics (but not on a glazed surface naturally), ceramics - the material is strong enough, it is suitable for this. But to sharpen a completely dull knife ...
