Why Buy a Honing Rod?

Some people think that sharp knives are dangerous. But the truth is that blunt knives are even more dangerous than sharp knives. When using blunt knives to cut meat, or tough vegetables, you have to slice and press very hard, over and over again. With that, you will exert more energy and apply excessive unnecessary force, causing discomfort and wrist pain.

Moreover, blunt knives have a tendency to slide and press against food rather then seamlessly piercing right through it. This can lead to accidents, which is why regularly honing your knives is crucial.
