  • Finally! A First person view. 

  • Very helpful, and even a bit entertaining. Thanks.

  • @samuraiofwar lol 2 years later but for what it counts i completely agree. from day one i was taught to steel inwards. @justifyjustin, TECHNICALLY u should clean ur knife almost constantly for contamination reasons. MOST of the time it doesnt happen and the world goes on just the same. I would suggest cleaning the steel regularly tho as maintenance because blood/fat collects between the grooves making it less efficient. HONING IS NOT SHARPENING! lol

  • You could wash it, but most of the time, I see people just wipe the blade off with a cloth towel, and so do I.

  • I was wondering, should wash your knife after ever session on the steel, to avoid contaminating food residue after using the steel, or are there no metal shavings/particles produced in the process.

    I realise that it isn't a sharpening process as such, but surely with metal on metal contact one of the two items must give off some form op powder/residue?

  • Thanks for the tip, I am less afraid to try sharpening our knives now!

  • I'll stick with my 99 cent ginsu thank you very much!!

  • this is not practical for me im a butcher and you have to go toward your self to be fast because time is money especially on the kill floor

  • Great instruction! Thanks.

  • thats so rediculously sharp
