Just a reminder to sharpen your knives. Remember: A kitchen without sharp knives is a sad and dangerous kitchen!!!

I use Ikea knives and they've gotten pretty dull. I bought a semi-decent 400/1000 water stone, watched some videos, spent whole evening practicing, starting with the dullest and they are only a bit sharper, nowhere near razor sharp stuff I see in videos. It's probably inconsistent angle, but i'm pretty bummed that I spent all that effort for nothing.

>Taking anyone elses word as to how sharp a knife is.
> Blunt knives cause more serious accidents than sharp ones.

When I was a slaughterman, I saw a guy tear his right thigh open with a knife that I knew hadn't been sharpened.
He got 179 sutures to close that wound up.
Not even worth it

Paper sharp is a meme and only a thing past around 4000 grit.
Your knife will naturally become easier to sharpen as you repeat the same motion.
The only wrong way to sharpen a knife is any other way than you did, since you start making a new edge instead of sharpening it.

Knife sharpness is like highway speed.
Dull knives are no more dangerous than sharp knives, just like fast speeds are no more dangerous than slow speeds.
It's about consistency - either being used to a certain dullness of knife or a certain speed that follows the flow of traffic.

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 28 16:21:44 2020 No.14976192 >>14973720 I just buy a new knife at the dollar store when it becomes dull, anyone else?

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 28 16:30:05 2020 No.14976243 Needing more force to cut yourself with a dull knife doesn't make them safer since you will be using more force anyways to cut food with them. They're more dangerous because the edge can slip easily and be more difficult to control.

>>14973800

there's two tests for any cook or chef that walks into a kitchen. how they cut an onion and how they saran wrap. if ur chef is buying prorata onions he is no chef. every single person in that kitchen should know how to cut an onion in seconds time.

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 28 16:58:26 2020 No.14976409 >>14976243 And also a cut from a dull knife makes the wound take more time to heal

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 28 17:09:35 2020 No.14976445 >>14973784 Thats surprising to hear. I bought a whetstone, started practicing, and saw great results. Mine arent razor sharp, but I can generally cut a tomato with one stroke. It's possible you need to adjust your technique.

Stones are stones, pick what will arrive quicker for a price you like.
>>14976460
Those shit tools are also whetstones, just with training wheel guides.
Sure you wont fall over, but you won't get a good result either.
Most shit ones have grits so low they eat away at the knife in no time.
