Hi all,

I have a new Cuisinart knife set, but tossed the box before checking
on one crucial fact. I *think* my set includes a knife sharpener, but
never having used one like this, I want to be sure before I go tearing
up my knives. I also have no idea how to use said knife sharpener, so
please advise.

It looks like a long rounded skewer with a handle, with ridges running
all along the metal part. It has a rather dull point, so I don't think
it could possibly be anything else but please do let me know if you
know any other purpose for it.

How does one sharpen with this? Do I wet it first or use it dry?

Thanks in advance,
Jen
