We all know the well known saying that a knife is only as good as the edge it holds. This accurate saying is true because a safe edge is better because that means the edge of your knife is less likely to slip. You also don't have to use nearly as much force as you do when using a dull knife.

Understanding the difference between a knife that isn't doing its job and a durable, sharp knife will make sharpening your knife more doable. Of course, this also depends on what tools and knives are reliable in the first place.

After the break, discover a few secrets on how you can achieve a durable and sharp blade. It's time to improve the knives you own so you'll be ready when SHTF!
