How to Best Sharpen a Kitchen Knife

How to Use a Honing Steel.

Sharpening and honing a knife are different processes. Sharpening grinds a completely new edge into the metal, while honing only smooths out small deformities and irregularities in the blade.

A honing steel won't "sharpen" your knife - it's not powerful (or hard) enough to do that - but proper use of a steel in the daily upkeep of your blade will lengthen the time between formal sharpenings. That means you'll have to sharpen your knife less often. Your knife will last longer. A dull knife is more dangerous than a sharp one. So, fewer accidents and band-aids.

Using a steel can be unwieldy and can do more harm to the edge of your knife than good, but with these simple tips you'll find that using a steel is easier than you think. The trick is in finding stability.
