J.A. HENCKELS INTERNATIONAL - Honing and Sharpening

[@KnivesAndBlades]

Great video! Thanks for breaking down the importance of both honing and sharpening knives. The demonstration with the tomato is super practical! One key tip is that honing doesn’t actually sharpen the blade but realigns the edge, while sharpening removes material to create a new edge. Also, for those using a stone, soaking it in water for a few minutes before sharpening can make a big difference. Regular honing postpones sharpening, and remember, over-sharpening can reduce the lifespan of your knife. Excellent guide for keeping our knives in top condition!

Good video and technique on the honing. Only thing is harder knives around 60 hrc or more actually doesnt need to be honed and can take damage on a steel hone. On thoose harder knives i would recomend stropping on leather for example. Or doing just a few quick strokes on a stone every now and then to maintain the apex/edge of the knife.

So does it matter what type of honing rod I use?

My mother used my henckel pairing knife to cut through a few plastic, as well as cardboard boxes. Edge was ruined and the majority of the blade itself is scratched up. Bought a few sharpening stones, took some time to learn, and the edge was good as new. Scratches remain in the body of the blade but eh, it still cuts like a dream.

Thanks 👍🏻👍🏻

I rather sharpen my knives with a diamond sharpening steel and for maintenance a oval honing steel. Works great to keep your knives in top shape!

Good knives , how long can a honing rod last ?

Good question! It’s burnishing the edge of the knife and is made of steel harder than the knife itself, so probably a lifetime.
