    MrEZ, thank you for showing us how it's done correctly. You're the first person in a very long time I've seen that actually knows what they're talking about, and backs that shit up with evidence. Thank you.

    It probably helps to start with a knife that is already sharp. I don't imagine Chef Ramsey has any dull knives in his kitchen.

    No, because everyone is a little bit of an idiot. And this is one of the ways in which Gordon is. Brilliant in other things, crap on this topic.

    I agree, he's a great chef, I love watching him cook, just not sharpening knives.

    There is no such thing as a special sharpening technique, only proper and improper sharpening.

    I prefer to use leather strops on my knives, I've never liked steels or diamond steels. Then again, I'm not working in a production kitchen and enjoy taking the time to sharpen my knives to an insane level. Once again, steel's suck.

    He does it wrong! Great chef! Excellent marketer/celeb but terrible knife sharpener!

    OK! We know Gordon is wrong but you need to understand a couple of points about a honing steel. 1. Steels don't suck if used correctly! 2. If a steel is used correctly your blades can stay sharp 5X longer between full on sharpening service is needed. 3. If you use a technique like mine using a diamond rod your are sharpening and using a ceramic rod you are sharpening and straightening and using a steel rod your straightening. Other than that your assessment of Gordons technique is correct!

    maybe you're right...but dammit he's such a good chef, 14 michelin stars...people who don't have the knowledge about sharpen a knife will hardly believe somebody who says gordon isn't doing it well...it is my case...so, i'm going to go to the bottom of this subject.
