do not believe other answer that says to just "practice" - you cannot hope to steady a blade with sub-millimeter precision, you must secure it...if you are off by a fraction of a mm you are resetting the edge
- c0pium 3y agoThis is nonsense. Every chef I know sharpens by hand and they get an insanely sharp edge.
- oldpersonintx 3y agoKitchen knives are a laughably low bar for sharpening and most chefs don't care because their knives are destroyed, damaged or stolen in short order anyway In kitchens I have worked in, knives were delivered by a service once a week, no one wastes time honing. Those chefs showing off their $5k custom knives get them stolen by dishwashers, these are for home users only imho Sharpening straight razors is where you actually learn how to hone
- eternityforest 3y agoI think it depends on skill. I'm not great at sharpening, others get to razor sharp in seemingly no time with just a single stone. Not everyone has time and a decent level of natural dexterity but it is possible, since people seem to do it.
