Our constant need to cut has led me try to find the best way to sharpen kitchen tools we all use daily. What if in the Google search results for "Knife sharpening service near me" you can be sure that your knives are in good hands? What if there is something better than basic electric knife grinders? How can you be sure that no one will rip you off and destroy your knives and scissors with an electric grinder?

Whetstones:
author's opinion

Advantages, disadvantages and in between.

Electric grinders can only do so much, but they can't provide a well-sharpened edge from heel to the tip that will last for a long time. It is a fast and easy option, no doubt. But you would notice that your day-to-day cutting experience rapidly gets worse, and here you are, taking your knives back to the shop and paying to get your knives re-sharpened.

An electric grinder is not always the option, especially when we talk about high -end knives. But let's be real – whetstones also have pros and cons. For instance, an average set of six knives and a pair of scissors would take one to two hours to get sharpened. Hear me out, one to two hours if the set is in good shape. If the cutting edge is chipped, depending on the size of the chip, it takes a long time to remove the damn thing. Even having a 250 grit stone won't help.

It is ok if your knives are not perfect, we are here to make it happen

Depending on the steel, of course. I noticed that knives from Europe, such as Zwilling Henckels or Wusthoff and other brands, get rusted more than knives from Aisa, like Mac, Shun, or Nagomi, for example, nothing but a personal observation.. continue reading

Knife bevels

Each knife type differs for its purpose. Boning knives are good for separating meat from the bone, but terrible at cutting vegetables. Nakiri knives, on the other side, are great for chopping soft vegetables, 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
