Knife Sharpening Tips

The most important consideration is the blade’s edge. If you’ve got a sheath, you should always use it. Kitchen knives can be stored in wooden blocks or on magnets. Pocket knives will maintain their edges better then most, but it might be a good idea to store your coins and keys in one pocket and your knife in another. If you’re storing several knives, be sure to put them in a place where they’re not going to bounce into one another. Be particularly careful with knives that do not have stainless steel edges. They’re far more prone to corrosion than stainless steel blades, and you’re going to want to clean and/or use your non-stainless steel blades on a regular basis.
