There’s an important reason businesses and homes alike benefit from professional
knife sharpening: Sharp blades are inherently safer. A sharp blade makes slicing almost
effortless. Since you don’t have to force it through the product, there is less risk the blade
will slip and inflict an injury. Plus, a sharp blade reduces repetitive motion injury, such as
carpal tunnel syndrome, because it slices on the first cut.
In addition to increasing safety, sharp blades enhance the look and longevity of sliced
food. Dull blades unnecessarily bruise delicate fruits and vegetables during the cutting
process, which reduces both their appearance and shelf life. Sharp blades, on the other
hand, produce a more appealing and longer lived end product.
Even if all of your knives and other kitchen utensils are sharp now, eventually they
will need to be re-sharpened. The frequency for re-sharpening depends on the quality
of the blade, the way it is used, the type of product being cut, and how well it is cared
for, cleaned, and stored. When a high-quality sharpening steel or honing device will
not restore the blade’s edge to a smooth cutting tool, professional knife sharpening is
necessary.
During an improper sharpening, blades can be damaged by excessive heating and
abrasion. This reduces the strength, lifespan, and appearance of the blade, as well as its
overall cutting abilities. To maintain the shape and balance of the knife, it’s important to
remove as little edge material as possible during sharpening. All true knife sharpening
techniques physically remove some amount of material from the knife blade. But the
expert craftsmen at Diamond Sharp go to great lengths to keep that to a minimum and
restore each blade’s edge to optimal cutting ability and life span.
