In the kitchen, dull is dangerous. Keeping your knives sharp is essential so you don’t risk slipping or twisting your wrist (and hurting yourself more) when cutting through something tough.

A dull knife is an accident waiting to happen.  A sharp knife is safer.

A sharp blade is predictable. When it strikes or is drawn across the food’s surface, it won’t slip. This makes it easy to control how the blade moves through the food, giving you control over your chopping or slicing. A dull blade will slip, which makes control difficult and increases the risk that it will slip into your finger. With a dull knife, it’s only a matter of time until you badly cut yourself.

But ANY knife will goes to dull after long time using. That’s why you need to learn how to sharpen a chef’s knife. Here we recommend the sharpening stone to sharpen your chef’s knife.
