Great read. I usually take my knives to my parents whenever I visit for a sharpening but found they had thrown out the sharpening block I used so will have to use this instead. They have one hidden away

Or you can buy new knives hahahahahah

This is something i pass over to my hubby to do, but I’ll show him to make sure he does it properly.

I use stay-sharp knives in a sharpening holder – after almost 10 years they are still just as sharp as they get sharpened every time they are removed from the holder. They are also much safer to store in my opinion

I love my knife set and it is well cared for and well used too.

great hint – I use my steel wrong, and my knives are stuffed!

I didn’t realise there was a proper way of doing it…pretty sure I’ve been doing it completely wrong. Glad to have read this article!

I’d be so worried that I’d slip and somehow cut myself this way. Purchased a scanpan knife sharpener. It was a great investment

Does take practice to get them sharp worth learning to do

This is hubby’s area of expertise in our house. Everything is sharp here (except my gardening secateurs when I need them most). Even my mum and my Grandma line him up to fix their knives when we visit. And the way my son is going, he’ll have this skill down pat soon too.

i just tried to sharpen my scissors and ended up blunting them all. LOL

We have some wonderful knives and they are very much neglected and in need of good sharpening!

Excellent article which l need,normally l will ask my partner as he has mastered the art!

Our knife block has a sharpener in it

It depends on the manufacturing method of the knives. Some are made in such a way that they never have to be sharpened

I’ve used the same knives for years and they are still sharp – must just be lucky.

Thanks for sharing. I hate using bling knives abs definetly need to get hubby to sharpen all our knives.

Such an informative video. My knives surely need some sharpening. I need to buy the sharpening steel.

Such a great demo here – thanks!
