TIPS:

Choosing Sandpaper: Make sure you select sandpaper with the appropriate grit. For very dull knives, start with a coarser grit (like 180) and then move to a finer grit (like 600 to 1000) for a smoother finish.

Proper Pressure: When using sandpaper for sharpening, apply even and constant pressure to the knife blade. Avoid using too much pressure, as this can damage the blade.

Even strokes: Use back and forth strokes with the knife over the sandpaper in an even manner. This will help ensure that it is sharpened evenly across the entire length of the blade.

Check the blade regularly: Stop the sharpening process periodically to check the blade and make sure it is progressing as you wish. This will help you avoid over-sharpening and maintain the correct angle.

Using Polishing Paste: After sharpening with sandpaper, consider applying polishing paste to get an even smoother, shinier finish on your knife blade.

Mind the angle: Maintain the proper angle between the knife blade and the sandpaper to ensure even and consistent sharpening. Pay attention to maintaining this angle throughout the sharpening process.

Safety: Always use caution when handling sharp knives and sharpening tools. Wear protective gloves if necessary and keep your fingers away from the sharp edge of the blade during the process.

With these tips, you can get the most out of the knife sharpening method you’ve described and keep your knives sharp and ready to use.
