Lighter knife sharpener

A simple sharpener for kitchen knives, which you can do if you want to do it yourself in 5 minutes. For this, you will not need scarce parts and tools. This will be a very useful thing for your kitchen.

What do you need for a sharpener?

• - Two used flint lighters.
• - A small wooden block.
• - A pair of screws.

Getting started making knife sharpeners

The first step is to remove two steel wheels that strike silicon from both lighters. This is all just done with a flat screwdriver. Then with the same screwdriver, release the middle of these wheels from the aluminum sides, so that in the end you have only steel wheels without facing.
Then on a small wooden block you need to put steel wheels.
Combine them together and fasten to the bar with screws. Scales of wheels should be directed in one direction.
The knife sharpener is ready. She will not take up much space on the farm, and if necessary, she can be taken with her even on a hike.
Using a sharpener is very simple. You take the knife, place its tip between the wheels, and with a little effort stretch the knife towards you.
As a result, metal shavings appear and the blunt edge of the knife is sharpened.

Sharpener check

I took a blunt knife, which initially almost did not cut paper. He made a dozen movements on the sharpener just made.
Everything, the knife was perfectly ground. The paper sheet is cut once or twice.
