Thread: Kitchen knives...

Faster and Easier isn't always the best path to follow: I have found that Patience is a Virtue well worth seeking.

Every Commercial Razor Maker (that I know of) uses motorized methods to sharpen their razors before selling and call them 'Shave Ready'. While 'some' are 'usable' most of us have found that with using the older, slower and time consuming method of using stones gives a much better edge.



While I have consistently said that the difference between 'Sharpening' a knife and 'Honing' a razor are as different as Black and White. I see no difference between hand sharpening of a knife's edge on stones to improve it's edge that was created by a mechanical device such as a belt sander.
