Our Beef Processing Video Contains 10 Minutes of
How To Sharpen Your Knife and Use A Steel!

How to "Steel" a Knife

Graphic showing how to steel a knife.  Click to enlarge the graphic.

1 . Hold the steel firmly in your left hand with the guard positioned to stop the blade should it slip.

2. Hold the knife in your right hand and place on top part of steel as shown.

3. Raise back of blade one-eighth inch.

4. Now, moving the blade only, draw it across the steel in an arcing curve, pivoted at your wrist.
The blade tip should leave the steel about two-thirds of the way down.

5. Repeat the same action with the blade on the bottom side of the steel.
Always maintain the same pressure and angle on both sides of the steel.

6. Repeat five or six times. **

 **How Many Strokes Are Necessary?

The answer to this question depends on the condition of the knife.  On an already sharp knife, only a few light pressured strokes are necessary to maintain the sharp edge before each use.  If you do not wish to use the steel this frequently, additional strokes will be necessary to reestablish a keen cutting edge.

On a very dull knife, perhaps as many as 15 to 20 strokes on each side of the blade will be needed with a heavier pressure of blade against the steel before the edge is restored.

Remember, sharp knives are safe knives because they require less pressure in cutting, and don't slip as easily as dull knives. 

Disclaimer: Sharpening a knife can be a dangerous task if not done properly. Knife sharpening should always take place in a well-lit environment, on a stable surface, and by a responsible sober adult.

Use emerey cloth to keep your steel in the proper shape to put an edge on your knives!To keep your steel in the best working condition, occasionally
run a fine to medium grit emery cloth over it.
 This will help it keep putting an edge on your knives!


Sharpening Steel


Long and pointed, this thin round rod (also called a butcher's steel ) is made of extremely hard, high-carbon steel (some of diamond steel or ceramic) and is used to keep a fine edge on sharp knives.

The rod is attached to a handle, which usually has a guard to protect the user's hand from the knife blade. Sharpening steels come in a variety of sizes. Knives are sharpened by drawing them (while applying slight pressure) across the steel at a 20- to 30-degree angle. Doing this 5 to 6 times on both sides of the blade prior to each use keeps the blade razor-sharp.

Dull blades will not be helped by a sharpening steel; they need to be resharpened on a WHETSTONE and then fine-honed on a steel.

For maximum efficiency, choose a sharpening steel that is longer than the knife to be sharpened. To prevent metal filings from building up, occasionally clean the steel according to manufacturer's directions.


Whetstone

Whetstones, also called oilstones , are rectangular blocks made of the extremely hard carborundum (a composition of silicon carbide). They are fine grained, often with one side slightly coarser than the other.

 Knives should periodically be honed on whetstones to keep them really sharp. This is done by first lubricating the stone with oil or water, then drawing the knife blade with slight pressure across the whetstone at about a 20-degree angle. Doing this 5 to 6 times on each side of the knife is adequate.

If the whetstone's two sides are of differing textures, this activity should be performed first on the coarser side and finished on the finer-grained side. This will give the knife an even sharper edge.

The sharpness of a knife's blade can be maintained by using a SHARPENING STEEL prior to each use.
