What Is the Difference Between Honing and Sharpening Your Knives?

Like any tool, the redesigned Royal Prestige® Cutlery line also needs proper maintenance so we’re breaking down how the Royal Prestige® All-in-One Knife Block can help keep your knives in optimal condition.

Crafted from acacia wood, the knife block is not only elegant but the wood is functional as well as naturally antibacterial. The block also features an integrated sharpener to help you “hone” and “sharpen” your knives. But do you know the difference between both processes? Get ready to learn more!

“Honing”: The Magic Touch

Honing revitalizes your knives with a magical touch. Recommended weekly or biweekly, the process involves passing the blade through the sharpener to straighten and align the edge. In short, it works to balance the edge of your knife so that it recovers its balance and performance. With the Royal Prestige® All-in-One Knife Block, you can perform the process by
simply inserting the knife into the slot, resting the blade against the sharpener, and gently moving it back and forth 6 to 8 times.

“Sharpening”: Take Your Knives to the Next Level!

This process allows you to restore your knives to their original sharpness by removing any residue from its German-standard stainless steel. Thanks to the sharpener in the Royal Prestige® All-in-One Knife Block, you can sharpen your knives safely and efficiently. Insert the knife into the slot, apply pressure on the blade against the sharpener, and rock it forward and backward 2 to 3 times. It is normal for the blade to give some resistance during the process.

In conclusion, the Royal Prestige® All-in-One Knife Block is much more than an acacia wood block. It will serve as your go-to tool to keep your knives in optimal condition and ready to handle any recipe. Honing allows you to keep the blade’s edge aligned and balanced, while sharpening lets you restore its original sharpness. By knowing when to use each technique, you can enhance the life of your knives and cut without any limits.

With this powerful tool, you can master the art of preserving your cutlery like never before. Don’t waste time struggling with dull knives! Reach out to a distributor and take your culinary experiences to the next level with the Royal Prestige® All-in-One Knife Block!
