We bring to your attention, perhaps, the simplest, but at the same time convenient knife sharpener, which is easy to craft in just 30 minutes. For this homemade product you will need a pair of bolts and a metal strip in which holes have already been drilled.
Despite the fairly simple design, this homemade sharpener just does its job perfectly. And even demonstrates a good result in conjunction with Chinese whetstones bought in the market or in the store.
In addition to two bolts and a plate, the master also uses a Soviet plastic ball, which, most likely, was removed from some machine. Here from such simple and affordable materials you can whip up a suitable sharpener for quick sharpening knives.
The main stages of work
First of all, you will need to cut off the cap of the long bolt with a grinder, which will prevent the installation of a nut with a lamb. The resulting cut must be aligned on the grinding machine, removing a couple of turns of thread and making a chamfer.
In principle, a stud with a suitable diameter can be used instead of a bolt. The next step is to expand one of the holes in the metal plate to the diameter of the bolt used, and remove the burrs inside.
Next, the final assembly of the sharpener is carried out, after which you can start sharpening the dull knives. For details on how to make a simple sharpener for kitchen knives with your own hands in 15 minutes, see the video on our website.
