Maintain Your Edge Between Sharpenings
A sharp knife is a safe knife. Stropping realigns the micro-edge after every use. Honing straightens bent edges from daily cutting. Together, they extend the time between full whetstone sharpenings from weeks to months.
30 Seconds, Every Time
A few passes on a strop or honing rod before each cooking session keeps your edge razor-sharp and your cuts effortless.Months Between Sharpenings
Proper daily maintenance can triple the time between full whetstone sessions — saving you time and preserving your blade.No Special Skills
Draw the blade away from the edge at a shallow angle. Five passes per side. Done. Anyone can master it in minutes.SHARPEN VS HONE VS STROP
