sharpening a knife

Possibly the most worrisome aspect of using a knife is the sharpness of its blade.

When that is true, it is aggravating as well as dangerous.

Because of that, the tendency of most of us when we use our knives is to assume they have started to dull and then sharpen them. That can be a waste of steel, time and effort!

Looks can be deceiving and often we sharpen when all we really need to do is hone.

The fact is, for a good knife, most do not dull as quickly or easily as most of us suppose.

Often when we assume they have they have dulled, they actually have developed a fine “bend” on the blade and just need to be straightened out by honing.
