(1) The knife is facing the wrong way and (2) this is 'honing' NOT sharpening.

To sharpen a knife you need a whetstone, and preferably a professional knife sharpener.

This is INDEED "Knife Sharpening for Dummies!"

Honig is not the same as sharpening. And you must hon the blade to the edge not away from it. As you are doing with one side.

So I'm sitting there, going at it on a bench stone, and my dads like WTF are you doing and just snatches MY knife And goes to the kitchen and grabs the honing steel and just like whacks the blade against it in the wrong direction saying I was doing it wrong

But he grew up working on a farm sharpening tools so idk how to tell him he's mentally retarded

I just took it from him, finished up sharpening and stropped it a bit on my belt and gave it back a minute later saying he knows what he's doing

[S30Vstainless]

this is not sharpening. its honing. honing and stropping are not sharpenning
