Please don't give this advice.
Sure, it's a good way to check the sharpness of an edge, but its unsuitable to check edge sharpness across the blade on large knives without running a major risk of injury

I know, I know, you've been doing this for years and it's never happened. But there are much better and faster ways to check edge sharpness that won't result in lost digits.

>pull through a piece of paper, one motion
should be no tearing

>shaving hair is equally dangerous
However, you can check the entire length of the blade faster due to larger surface area

>pull cut on veggies
without applying downward pressure, attempt to slice a vegetable
Does the blade catch? Does it slide off? Sharp blades will catch, and fall through softer veg
