I figured who better than a pro-chef for advice. My grandad used a 3stone triangle system where the oil fell in a trough and my dad still has it. Unfortunately he can’t see the make anywhere on it. online these range quite a bit in price. Is there one you recommend or any particular system you like?
I like the Chosera stuff. https://www.chefknivestogo.com/chosera-stones.html. Rough, medium, medium fine, fine, polish.
I'm scared to say any opinions on here anymore so laying low, seems like I open my mouth and get banned. Get a japanese 2 grit whetstone, soak in in water for 20 minutes, it can be a little tricky/ intimidating (youtube) to learn, they sell these little guard things with a certain angle you pop on then it takes the guess work out before you get the feeling or know the sound. When I sharpen my knives, I buy a big tomato, have my 2 grit whetstone, a diamond steel, give it a go, make a cut in the tomato, sharp?? Could be sharper, back to the stone, steel it, till it cuts a tomato skin with ease
for an everday chefs knive go with a whetstone 1k and 4k grit. look up youtube videos on how to sharpen and done.
I'm out here using this POS but it does the job pretty well. https://smile.amazon.com/ChefsChoic...=1588683442&sprefix=knife+shap,aps,137&sr=8-9
Have you tried that the search function? http://forums.13x.com/index.php?threads/knife-sharpening.331867/ http://forums.13x.com/index.php?threads/electric-knife-sharpeners.361862/
Yes. Honestly it’s a pain because it just keeps returning all the responses of a thread. I get frustrated trying to use the search so I just figured it’d be easier and faster to reach out the way and I and I got an answer. Maybe it works better from a computer but the search from the phone is frustrating.
Only if you have a cooking show on the food network or daytime tv and have never actually worked in a restaurant
I worked in a restaurant (Prep and cook, sous chef). Local service sharpened all of our knives, including the chef's. Like every other restaurant...
