Do knives wear out?
I have a meat knife, that I have owned for around thirty years. I
sharpen it with a stone a couple times a month whenever I need to slice up a whole chicken for frying. Would the blade over this time frame become thinner or narrower to the point that it might break if I applied too much pressure? I would think butchers must wear out their knives quite quickly. Thanks Tom |

Self sharpening is ok with a sharpening steel to keep the edge keen for slicing and chopping, etc. But most people really don't know how to properly sharpen knives. It wouldn't hurt to have your knives professionally sharpened once in a while. The professional sharpener knows how to grind the blade back to a straight, even edge that will only take the steel to keep it in top condition. |
