WHY SHARPEN?
- With prolonged use, knife edges can become blunt.
It might seem obvious, but sharp knives help you work quicker in the kitchen, cook food more evenly and prevent accidents caused by blunt knives slipping as you work.
For effortless chopping, carving and slicing, regular sharpening makes light work of food preparation, saving time and ensuring uniformity when you’re paring and dicing.
