Knife Sharpener

I want to note right away that I am not fond of knives and their sharpening, but back in April I bought several kitchen knives that were ideal for working in the kitchen. They cut just fine, but not the way it was at the beginning. To sharpen them with standard means is only to spoil ... Therefore, I was puzzled by studying the issue of sharpening...

At first I wanted to buy ready-made knife sharpeners, there are just a lot of them, for example, the models that were already in the basket: Professional Knife sharpener and RUIXIN Pro , but after watching dozens of videos on this topic, I realized that it is quite possible to make your own version by printing everything on a printer details. Yes, I not only printed parts, but I sharpened some of them on a small lathe and cut the base on a CNC. I just wanted to experiment with new materials. The same carbon fiber, with which I had no experience in work, and the next project is connected with it. Very interesting material, but of course it's still a fruit in processing...

Probably many can note that you need to use a metal bar, but here I used carbon fiber. It was also necessary to check how much it is possible in application. And I came to the conclusion that it is quite possible even to make linear displacement guides based on such tubes. Their extraordinary strength and precise manufacturing, and most importantly, light weight will make it possible to test their application in the next project, but more on that another time...

I also wanted to test a homemade hinge - it came out quite working ... Well, and a lifting mechanism that allows you to set the exact angle of sharpening of the knife descent. The protractor had not arrived yet, so I sharpened the knives using a marker, the angle was selected for the factory sharpening. However, all this can be seen on the video...
