Do you own a business in which using knives are a daily part of the job? Whether you own a busy restaurant, a food processing plant, or a hectic deli, it’s likely you know the importance of owning knives that are honed to razor sharpness. Allowing your employees to wield dull knives not only puts them at risk for injury, but it also compromises the material they’re cutting. A well sharpened blade will slice through effortlessly, creating an accurate, aesthetically pleasing cut. Struggling with a dull blade, however, may result in a messy, jagged slice that completely ruins the project. Here are a few more reasons you should consider a commercial knife sharpener for your business.
When it comes to sharpening knives, it’s widely agreed among professional chefs and artisans alike that electric sharpeners are ideal for busy settings. Depending on the type of blades you use and how often they’re used, your knives may go dull very quickly indeed. For this reason, having a quality commercial knife sharpener is a necessary part of work—otherwise it would be impossible to keep your blades in good working condition for very long.
There are many advantages to using an electric commercial knife sharpener. It is essentially a fast, effective way to sharpen and hone your blade with lasting effects. In most cases, sharpening a knife takes less than a minute, if that. It’s a simple matter of inserting the knife into the slot, then wiping it clean. It’s ready to use immediately after, providing your employees with accurate, balanced blades.
Many knife owners worry that an electric commercial knife sharpener will damage their knives. While not all electric sharpeners are created equal, this hardly means that using a machine to sharpen your blades will run the risk of ruining them. In many cases, there are electric sharpeners that are designed specifically to prevent just that. After all, one of the biggest worries any knife owner has is that the device will wear down the metal on the blade, resulting in a thinner, weaker knife than before.
With a quality electric commercial knife sharpener, however, the point is not only to provide you with quality service, but to make sure that you sharpen your blades as little as possible to preserve their shape and strength. It is able to accomplish this by subtly changing and honing its edge into a shape that resists dulling, which actually lengthens the life of your knives. This, combined with a method that removes as little metal as possible from the blade, results in blades that last considerably longer than they would using conventional sharpening methods.
