I have an electric sharpener that's supposed to be top-notch, but I'm never sure of the angle, so that's probably my problem. The professional guy apparently has a steadier hand than I do.Tina Scott, author, artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07790034052256681469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2885351479221209592.post-56993539227645655972010-09-08T14:27:54.550-07:002010-09-08T14:27:54.550-07:00I used to cook for a living. The secret to sharpe...I used to cook for a living. The secret to sharpening knives is to make sure the same person always does the sharpening. Pick your angle, and stick with it. Be sure to maintain the same angle throughout the process. And less is more, especially if you don't have a steady hand. Get a steele to clean off the stainless bead that forms when you sharpen and use it between sharpenings to keep a good edge. If you want to keep your knife sharp ONLY USE IT TO CUT FOOD! No boxes or other things. Also keep it out of the dishwasher. The more you pay for a knife the better the quality (usually) Look for knives that do not have that safety bump in the back, you lose half your chopping surface and they are harder to sharpen. And really what's the difference if your finger is hanging by the skin or completely chopped off? Not much safety provided there. <br />I like to spend between $110 - $140 on one good knife. The last time I bought one was 15 years ago and it is still going strong. Let me know if you have any other knife questions:)Moniquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14031524205974204614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2885351479221209592.post-83217221923724758772010-09-08T11:50:29.265-07:002010-09-08T11:50:29.265-07:00Your blog post title caught my eye.
