There are several reasons to sharpen your knives. Sharp knives make chopping, slicing, and dicing quicker and more precise. You'll spend less time and effort in the kitchen, making meal preparation a breeze. Sharp knives are also less prone to slipping, ensuring better control, and reducing the risk of accidents. Lastly, regular sharpening helps prolong the life of your blades. Dull knives tend to wear down faster as they require more force to cut through ingredients. Sur La Table offers both the tools to DIY your knife upkeep, as well as in-store knife sharpening services.
