    Yes you can . heres how.

    The ol' potato peeler is a humble little tool, but like any other cutter, it could stand sharpening from time to time.

    there are two cutting edges, so the tool works for lefties or righties, forward or backstroke.

    the sharpener of choice is a modest diamond pocket hone. It's a medium grit.


    First, you flatten and dress down the outer edges. I'm taking care not to change the cutting angle

    Next, you hone the inside edge. Here's where you actually be doing the sharpening.


    you can sharpen from the inside without fear of changing the outside "attack angle."

    A sharp peeler does a much faster job! you get thinner slices, and more control, too.
