Honing Blade, or Sharpening Blade?
Ok, i know there are steels used to hone a blade for when the edge just goes off to one side. I bought something however, and would like to know what it does/attempts to do. Its a little yellow thing and it has V of carbide that you run the knife through. What is this doing?
The carbide rollers or slides hold the edge of the knife in the groove nice and atraight and remove the same amount of material off each side of the blade with every stroke. it should be pulled from the tip to the handle, never the other direction. This protects your hands and keeps the metal smooth on a microscopic level. This type of knofe sharpening tool is made ONLY for blade that have a V shaped edge, not for one sided blades, serrated blades or other types. Mainly this means they are for hunting knives and home utility cooking blades, not steak knives for instance.
