Knife sharpening?

[ben4372]

Funny you mentioned that Ray. On a long time you tube channel the other day guy says honing steels are the worse thing to do with a knife. I have used a honing steel on all my kitchen knives forever with great results. Same principle as stropping- do it before they get dull !!

I didn't give a ton off credence to knife steels for much of my life. However, everyone before 1985 had one. All good chefs use them. I figured I'd get one for the kitchen. Turns out they all knew something. Great for a touch up. I dont use them on serrated blades. Youtube, Wikipedia with videos.
