Anyone know the best way to sharpen the Apple Wedger? I have a past host who has had hers for years and it is pretty dull. Can these be sharpened and if so, what do you use? Thanks in advance for any help.
 
I've never seen anything. I would think it would be quite difficult to do. I'd rather spend the $12 and buy a new one- she already knows she gets her moneys worth. ($12 divided by however many years she owned it?) Plus- the current wedger comes with a cover. I've had mine for years and it didn't have a cover (got mine on a replacement order though).
 
The Apple Wedger can be sharpened using a knife sharpener or a sharpening stone. Here are the steps to follow:1. Clean the Apple Wedger: Before sharpening, make sure to clean the Apple Wedger thoroughly with soap and water to remove any debris or food residue.2. Secure the Wedger: Place the Apple Wedger on a flat surface and hold it firmly in place with one hand. This will prevent it from slipping while sharpening.3. Choose a Sharpening Tool: You can use a knife sharpener or a sharpening stone to sharpen the Apple Wedger. Both of these tools work well, so choose the one you are most comfortable with.4. Sharpen the Blades: Hold the sharpening tool at a 20-degree angle and run it along the edge of each blade of the Apple Wedger. Make sure to apply light pressure and move the sharpener in a smooth motion. Repeat this process for each blade.5. Test the Sharpness: After sharpening, test the sharpness of the blades by slicing through an apple. If the wedges are coming out clean and without any effort, then the blades are sharp.6. Repeat if Necessary: If the blades are still not sharp enough, repeat the sharpening process until you achieve the desired sharpness.7. Clean and Store: After sharpening, clean the Apple Wedger again and dry it thoroughly. Store it in a safe place to prevent any accidents.Note: It is important to be careful while sharpening the Apple Wedger as the blades are very sharp.
