knife sharpening is an art

I truly believe that knives and scissors are one of the greatest tools that we as humans ever came up with. If you think about it – a single day cannot pass without the need of making two things out of one.

Our constant need of cutting things has made me try to find the best way to sharpen kitchen tools each of us uses daily. What if when you google search "Knife sharpening service near me" you can be sure that your knives are in good hands?

author's opinion

Advantages, disadvantages and in between.

Electric grinders can only give us so much, but they will not provide a well-sharpened edge from heel to the point that will last for long. It is a fast and easy option, no doubt.

Knife bevels

Each knife type differs for its purpose. Boning knives good for separating meat from the bone, but terrible at cutting vegetables. Nakiri knife, on the other side, great for chopping soft vegies, like tomatoes. But if you try to cut through something hard, it will get dull pretty quickly.
So, why are there so many types of knives? What use each of them has? What bevel each knife should have to maximize its ability? continue reading
