If you’ve noticed your knife is tearing instead of cutting, but you don’t have a sharpener, then there is a much easier solution…and it involves a mug and the knife in question!

So if you’ve got both these items, why not give it a go tonight? We tried it and it worked!

Steps

1. Grab the knife and mug

2. Slide the knife on a 30 degree angle over the bottom of the mug, on the rough-ish, unglazed porcelain rim

3. Repeat on the other side

4. Test

5. Done!
