Introduction: How to Sharpen Your Knife

I am going to show you how to sharpen your knife.

Step 1: Materials Needed

A knife
A sharpening stone
and oil (optional)

Step 2: Step 1

First you take your knife and hold it in your hand with the blade on the stone at a 45° angle.

Step 3: Step 2

Run the blade on each side for 5 or 6 times and switch.

Step 4: Step 3

Depending on the stone, it might take a while to sharpen if you have more of a finishing stone rather that a starting stone (for when it's really dull).

Step 5: Finished

Now your knife should be pretty sharp. If anything is wrong in your eyes with this instructable let me know. Thanks for viewing this instructable!! Please vote for me in the contests I enter!!
