Thanks for the advice on how to impress my friends "chef" Rick. Unfortunately, one cannot "sharpen" a knife with a steel. Nice try though. Get that lazy eye checked out Rick. What a joke!
the steel does not sharpen the knife it "hones" the steel basicly as you use the knife the edge gets bent ascure and the steel sets ut upright and if ue do the super fast motion there your more likely to damage your knife and lose a digit then do anything productive
@gourmetendeavors you don't really want to know where this fucking looney is a chef at, probably a gas station or hardware store, somewhere w/ no kitchen.
"your band of one handed cooks" I love it!!!!! LOL!!! LOL!!!!!
@kikitoStamatis im not saying hes good, cause hes not. no offense, but even if you're going a thousand miles an hour, you were still only honing the first half of the knife, nothing else. just slow down till you get it. but honestly, this guy has proper technique. 15-18 degrees, right. he does it on both sides, pretty evenly. as far as going towards yourself, guess what? i do it too. its comfortable, and safe. half the brigade at work does it to. stop being a little douche.
@c2thedub14 You have a lot to learn from the other half of your brigade, as far as me being a little douche, yeah sure! i was trained in classic technique in a culinary academy founded over 115 yrs. ago and have about 15 yrs. of experience in the field, i apologize to you if my poor knowledge on these matters offends your ignorance. trust me i've worked with dozens of street cooks who can run circles around me, but others like you can never break from bad habits. stop being so ignorant!
@kikitoStamatis i have alot to learn from everyone in the brigade. and how am i being the ignorant one? you're critiquing the way someone holds a knife when they hone it. thats like saying someones got the pens in their jacket in the wrong order. there's more than one way to do things. i dont care what your culinary academy says.
@c2thedub14 You see, that's exactly what i mean. NOT CARING=NOT WANTING TO LEARN, not only are you ignorant but you have a bad attitude, you're in the wrong industry buddy. And of course there are many right ways to do things, there are also many wrong, frankly i don't care how this loony fuchead hold his knife, i said it's unsafe, looks stupid and is achieving nothing by banging the knife and steel in such manner. PISS OFF YOU WANNABE! (street cook)
@kikitoStamatis most of the time, i.e. not caring maens not wanting to learn, but when it comes to trivial little things such as steeling a knife its hardly worth getting this upset about. and no, its not unsafe with the right technique. i dont see how i have a bad attitude. its people like you who can only see one way of doing things as right that cause so many problems, i.e. gay rights, gun control, etc. and wannabe? hardly. i work in the kitchen of the #1 marriott in the country, buddy.
You just wanted to show off and you don't know what the hell you're doing, you fucking impostr!. From what i saw, you only sharpened the tip of your knife when you did it fast... (scared to cut yourself?) ... I always sharpen knives with an oil stone and i do it slowly so sharpness would be very keen and even at both sides. Get off the tube! Fake and gay!!!!
@RolfBrecht123 come on man....when you come off that way it just makes you sound unintelligent. You could have gotten your point across by just explaining how he could have done it better.
@pplrelax its funny cause you said cock wars.................... then you explained cockwars to him.................then you said it was normal. i laughed, allmost fell off my chair.
Truly cringe worthy. Sure, I've seen some so-called experts use this incorrect method. Just because a lot of people do it this way doesn't make it right. Even the correct method can be dangerous if the steel is held wrong or one's attention is diverted. Chef Gordon Ramsay has a video on this site (his 'Cookalong Live' series) with the correct method. I recommend it. Safety first, WOW! factor second.
15º to 16º ? I don't think so. Only Shun Knives have 16º angle. German or any other knives have 22º angle. Beside, that is a honing steel not a sharpening steel.
@zondaf07 sweet... Shun knives a garbage sold to the masses for people that don't know any better. Get yourself some nice AS steel and take that bitch down to 10 degrees on either side. i'd like to see this tool push cut a ripe tomato with that knife he just butchered by being cute with his "skills".
I knew you were a IDIOT when i seen the title! YOU CAN NOT SHARPEN A KNIFE WITH A CHEF STEEL!! what a dumb ass. It simply straightens out the edge that was allready there.
Well....here's my 2 cents on it. I have watched butchers working many times and that is the way I have seen them do it. I think if anyone should know what to use and how to do it, it would be a butcher. True, very true you wont get the edge you would get from a hone, but this is quick. I tried his way and it worked. The cheaper steel knives take a much better edge than the stainless. rpampat, good show lad!
@moonshinerman I bet those butchers don't have all their fingers! I've worked in several butcher shops, nobody uses that technique. Safety first! No true expert would suggest that novices pull a knife towards their bodies. Why perpetuate the inaccurate way to hone a knife? Besides, steels don't sharpen. The title alone tells you that that the author doesn't have a clue. If somebody gets injured using this technique, do you think he would care?
in the end you're actually just damaging your knife your not straightening the edge ur ruining it and your not even getting the whole knife only probably 3 inches of it ... u are an embarrassment
I liked it. I am very amateur at cooking, but now at 50 yrs. old, found a real passion for it. Could you give some advice on brands of knives that are affordable. I never even respond to the childish comments that people leave that are negative because they have no life. So don't worry about them. You have a good video and very informative.
@gourmetendeavors You dush bag!!.. How the hell are you a professional when you use such horsed language to insult others. There is no one right way of sharpening a knife, and surly you must know this sense you "share a passion for the art of cooking"?..
Rick oh rick rick rick rick.....RICK!!!..although you seem very experianced,personlly I would never true a knife towards my own flesh, we all have our own technik though. For me and my kitchen..SAFTEY FIRST and rpampat...you sound like you are still in school? am I correct?
You cant sharpen a knife like that. Im a butcher and have been for 10+ years you dont use a steel to sharpen your knife you use a sone for that , you use a steel to straghten your edge and only use the weight of the knife on the steel with no pressure . I also noticed when you were trying to show off you were not even puting th heel of your knife on the steel all good if you just want to stab somone. your a fool
Excellent demonstration of how to bang a knife into a steel rod at high speed and random angles between 10 and 20 degrees. Also very good if you only want about the middle third of the blade to be affected by the steel.
You obviously are educated in how to hone a knife, but yet you call it sharpening, and you called that a butcher's knife. When I was a kid I called them butcher's knives because I thought they were big, but we both know they are French chef's knifes.
Butchers use slicing knives and cleavers, so I don't "butcher's knife" is an appropriate term for any knife.
Awkwardly enough though, in the straight razor world, waterstones are referred to as honing it.
thats not sharpening, it is straightening the edge, if done correctly. When using a steel less is more! This is not done to impress your friends.................
You should clarify that this is how to sharpen knifes for culinary purposes, there are different angles for different purposes and depending on what food you are preparing you may need a sharper knife, if you get a knife sharp and keep it maintained with a chef steel then it will keep its edge much much longer but not keep it like that over years time =)...and i just read some other comments after writing this, im not doing this to be an ass but a chef steel does not sharpen a knife
@rpampat you do realise a steel only straightens the edge on a knife and not sharpen it. also an expert who can sharpen a knife uses a smooth steel not a course one
lol...im sorry but your pathetic, im not quite sure who told you your a chef but from what iv seen by something as simple as steeling a knife was a total failure, id hate to see your knife roll, proably a mess....i think your a blogger who bought a knife block found the steel and figured "hey ill make a video"....dont quit your real day job...and proably start fresh and hone your skills...dont just make videos to look "cool"' people come here seeking information, real information
look at this retard sharpening towards his hand, one small mistake and you'll slice your finger, its so much easier to just slice in the other direction, dude your so dumb how do you think this is cool
there actually is a a rod you sharpen a blade with the way he says but it steel with a combination of diamond. So technically you couldsharpen a knife like that you just need the one with the diamond mixture
@gourmetendeavors...don't hate me because I'm beautiful and you haven't a clue on how to sharpen or hone a knife. I can tell by your words how inexperienced you are in the culinary field. Please remove your head from your arse and make me something along your culinary level...say a pb&J sandwich or maybe some scrambled eggs, oh wait, that would involve you being near hot things, never mind.
@rpampat nice lol. how long did it take to learn how to do that so fast? i hone a sword so im good at that stuff but dam lol,really? im a cook myself btw. anyhow great vid:)
@soUare123 retard. i sharpen knives exactly like he does for like the last 2 years and i haven't cut myself other than a few nicks, which you can expect however you sharpen a knife.
Your a funny man. You should just give your friends a few wipes, to wet their appetite. A butcher showed me a different technique, which I've uploaded. You might like to take a look. cheers.
@kebabrullemums He's trying to show us how to impress people. You wouldn't want to be intoxicated. A butcher showed me a different way, I've uploaded the technique.
Please anyone watching this... please, please do not take this guys advice lol A steel is not used to sharpen a knife at all, it is used to correct and align the edge of a dull blade. They only show it in films and tv shows because it looks "cool"
This guys technique is disgusting and i hope to god he's not a real chef.
@JSSV He may not have meant to show you how to sharpen a knife with the steel but it sure as hell looked like he was teaching me how to use a steal... which is what i wanted to know...
That is a honing steel. It is a physical impossibility for you to "sharpen" your knife on it, only straighten the blade. You only need about 5 passes on each side every time you use your knife to hone it properly. The faster this guys goes the farther up the tip he hones his knife and the more he misses the heel of the blade. Learn what you are doing before posting.
you can't sharpen a knife with a steel. a steel is only used to re align the edge or "hone" the knife. A STEEL IS NOT USED TO SHARPEN A KNIFE. if you want to sharpen a knife get some quality japanese waterstones.
that's a poor way to prove if the knife is sharp or not, and he should never be allowed to cook food for anyone, as a chef you are to show the highest possible respect for the tools you use to prepare food for OTHER'S.. you don't misuse a tool like that.. your supposed to use a clean well treated knife to prepare the damn meal, not put hairs in someones salad or something
thanks buddie now i can cut muh fish easly muh knife is like really sharp i was like struggling with muh fish foran hour witmuh dull knves but knife thur sharp tks again
omg man the way he uses that just makes me not wanna watch...i think this is the wrong technique cause i feel like he's about to cut himself at any moment..
why is there always someone on here telling people not to sharpen their knives with a steel? What is the secret here? I was looking for an informative video and it seems that a steel is not the way to sharpen? Does it get the knife sharp? Does it not? Or is it some kid in his first week of culinary school and thinks he knows it all? I would think that a chef like Gordon Ramsay would know what to do and he has a video just like this
Steels are bad. Don't ask a chef about sharpening a knife ask a knife maker, Murray Carter for example has a DVD and he's a ABS Master Blade Smith. He knows what he's talking about.
@Paulbump Daily use of the knife curves the cutting edge of the blade. The sharpening steel is used to straighten that edge out, not to actually make a new sharp cutting edge, just molding the existing edge back.
I've been looking at quite a few knife sharpening video and although this is certainly not professional, the camera shots of the "chef" sharpening the knife are the best I've found. It was exactly what I was looking for. The rapid fire sharpening at the end was silly, but the actual technique and camera angle was right on. I also found his demeanor and the kids in the background kind of charming.
you do not sharpen this way nor must you try to learn this to impress your friends, count your fingers! Hug your friends and cut this bullshit! pardon my Friends, whoha!!
A steel doesn't sharpen, nor hone a knife edge. It only trues the knife's cutting edge. When the knife is used, the blade edge folds over ever so slightly. The steel stands the edge back up, so to speak.
To sharpen or hone a knife edge, sharpening stones of various grits are used.
sry to be so insolent. but to clarify anyway, your angle on the steel is correct, but a steel only straghtens and polishes the edge not sharpen. Since it hones the edge like this it actually will help you glide through a peice of meat, veg, ect. (reduces friction). also to use the steel safely and more consistently with your strokes, put the tip on a counter/table and slice downwards.
Hahahahahaha! Wow! And how did your son get the knife in the fist place? Nice going mom/dad, but next time hide dangerous items away from children, and maybe they won't get caught!! Yay you!
And I don't think the video is bad, but its dangerous holding the knife so its coming towards you. Do it away from you!

there actually is a a rod you sharpen a blade with the way he says but it steel with a combination of diamond. So technically you couldsharpen a knife like that you just need the one with the diamond mixture

@gourmetendeavors...don't hate me because I'm beautiful and you haven't a clue on how to sharpen or hone a knife. I can tell by your words how inexperienced you are in the culinary field. Please remove your head from your arse and make me something along your culinary level...say a pb&J sandwich or maybe some scrambled eggs, oh wait, that would involve you being near hot things, never mind.

Please anyone watching this... please, please do not take this guys advice lol A steel is not used to sharpen a knife at all, it is used to correct and align the edge of a dull blade. They only show it in films and tv shows because it looks "cool"
This guys technique is disgusting and i hope to god he's not a real chef.

That is a honing steel. It is a physical impossibility for you to "sharpen" your knife on it, only straighten the blade. You only need about 5 passes on each side every time you use your knife to hone it properly. The faster this guys goes the farther up the tip he hones his knife and the more he misses the heel of the blade. Learn what you are doing before posting.

you can't sharpen a knife with a steel. a steel is only used to re align the edge or "hone" the knife. A STEEL IS NOT USED TO SHARPEN A KNIFE. if you want to sharpen a knife get some quality japanese waterstones.

are u sure coz this old chef i used to work with used one of them and he made it so sharp that he could shave his arm hairs off
and said thats how u know that you've done it succesfully
escimobob1 1 year ago
escimobob. you must work with blunt knives then.
Because 1 min of sharpening on a shop brought one will do this.
it does not show the sharp ness of the blade.
I can shave hairs off then run a knife across my hand.
not very sharp.
thinly slicing an old tomato, is a better way to demonstrate blunt then sharpend knife.

75SilentWarrior 1 year ago
that's a poor way to prove if the knife is sharp or not, and he should never be allowed to cook food for anyone, as a chef you are to show the highest possible respect for the tools you use to prepare food for OTHER'S.. you don't misuse a tool like that.. your supposed to use a clean well treated knife to prepare the damn meal, not put hairs in someones salad or something

steels are not for shrpening. they are for repairing slight damages to the knife blade while working.

Just by touching the edge at the 90º angle dulled it. Steels are not sharpeners.

why is there always someone on here telling people not to sharpen their knives with a steel? What is the secret here? I was looking for an informative video and it seems that a steel is not the way to sharpen? Does it get the knife sharp? Does it not? Or is it some kid in his first week of culinary school and thinks he knows it all? I would think that a chef like Gordon Ramsay would know what to do and he has a video just like this
Paulbump 2 years ago
Steels are bad. Don't ask a chef about sharpening a knife ask a knife maker, Murray Carter for example has a DVD and he's a ABS Master Blade Smith. He knows what he's talking about.
turbo311 2 years ago
@Paulbump Daily use of the knife curves the cutting edge of the blade. The sharpening steel is used to straighten that edge out, not to actually make a new sharp cutting edge, just molding the existing edge back.
BrunkN06 2 years ago
I've been looking at quite a few knife sharpening video and although this is certainly not professional, the camera shots of the "chef" sharpening the knife are the best I've found. It was exactly what I was looking for. The rapid fire sharpening at the end was silly, but the actual technique and camera angle was right on. I also found his demeanor and the kids in the background kind of charming.

A steel doesn't sharpen, nor hone a knife edge. It only trues the knife's cutting edge. When the knife is used, the blade edge folds over ever so slightly. The steel stands the edge back up, so to speak.
To sharpen or hone a knife edge, sharpening stones of various grits are used.

Baddogify 2 years ago 2
sry to be so insolent. but to clarify anyway, your angle on the steel is correct, but a steel only straghtens and polishes the edge not sharpen. Since it hones the edge like this it actually will help you glide through a peice of meat, veg, ect. (reduces friction). also to use the steel safely and more consistently with your strokes, put the tip on a counter/table and slice downwards.
