Keeping Our Blade Sharp 101

Honing Rod vs. Knife Sharpener
Watch chefs constantly do is actually sharpen the knives, rather than sharpening. Knives are absolutely sharp, so many people think it is a sharpening rod. However, sharpening the knife is usually done with a whetstone or electric sharpener, removing the metal from the blade and forming a new edge. For home cooking, it should not be done more than twice a year. All you need to do is polish your knives regularly.
Honing adjusts the edge of the blade to remove the dullness caused by microscopic creases and removes the minimal amount of metal. Re-adjust the edge with the master, you can cut like new without removing the metal.
Ceramic rods with 400-800 grit allow you to sharpen your knives. Grit around 2000 sharpens knives
Ceramic rods are harder and should be used on hard knives (not honing steel rods).
