FAQ List
The frequency of knife sharpening depends on how often you use your knives and the type of cutting tasks you perform. As a general guideline, it's recommended to sharpen your knives every 2-3 months for regular home use. However, if you frequently use your knives for heavy-duty tasks or notice a decline in their cutting performance, you may need to sharpen them more frequently.
Most blade sharpening tools are designed for straight-edged knives and may not be suitable for serrated knives. Serrated knives have a different blade structure and require specialized sharpening techniques. It's best to use a professional knife sharpener or seek the guidance of a knife expert to sharpen serrated knives.
Honing and sharpening are two different processes. Honing is done to realign the blade's edge, while sharpening involves removing material to create a new edge. If your knife feels dull and struggles to cut through food even after honing, it's likely time for sharpening. Honing should be done regularly to maintain the knife's edge between sharpening sessions.
