Questions people ask
How often should kitchen knives be sharpened?
It depends on how much you cook and what you cut on. Many home cooks sharpen a few times a year and use a honing rod in between.
Can serrated knives be sharpened?
Yes, with the right tools, but not every sharpener does them. Ask before you include bread knives.
Will sharpening ruin my expensive knives?
A careful sharpener won't, but powered grinders can overheat thin steel. For a valuable knife, ask how they'll sharpen it and whether they use hand stones.
