With real modern knives this doesn't make sense if you know what you are doing. Either I am missing something or something got lost in translation?
- rckoepke 7y agoMy guess: Sharpening is the process of removing material, if you sharpen a knife forever it will grind down to a useless stub. It is possible something got lost in translation, or possible that the metaphor isn't quite as satisfying as some of the others used.
