Knives and other sharp edged tools are used by mankind from time immemorial and continued to be use even today. The main function of these tools is to aid in cutting things. It is the best tool till date. Even the latest machinery uses the blades to cut things though they are operated mechanically.
The tools with a sharp edge work most efficiently only when the edges are sharp enough to cut easily. Otherwise the cutting process is a difficult one and the things will not get a neat cut. To maintain the sharpness we need to use tools to sharpen them and these are the sharpeners being used since the knives and blades were invented.
Knives are used by the housewives in the kitchen and also the chefs in the restaurants but no one is happy working with a blunt knife. The housewife will be waiting for the weekly round of the knife sharpener who will come to the door step with his wheel operated grinder. Rotating the wheel he will hold the knives' edge against it and get it sharpened.
Now in this age of modern machines the traditional ways have given way to machines that take care of these menial but important jobs. The most common knife sharpener used today is the diamond knife sharpener. And these are made by different companies hence you can get many sizes and shapes of these. The simplest form of them is a pair of stones you hold and then the blade or the knife is made to pass across it. This way your kitchen knife gets sharpened and is ready for the next round of cooking.
This way is ok if you need to sharpen your knife once in a while. The professional chefs need the knives often and the sharpening process is a daily feature. They need some mechanized tools to sharpen their knives and they use the diamond sharpener.
This sharpener will hold the blade between the two stones of the machine and will hone both the edges evenly making the cooking process an enjoyable one.
