I’ve heard someone say that there is a difference between actually sharpening a knife and making it not dull with a rod or something. What is the difference?
In: Technology
When a knife is used, the edge accumulates damage over time by either chipping off or bending over to a side.
When you use a rod on a knife, you’re just pushing all the bits that are bent back towards the center. There won’t be an impact to any parts of the blade that are chipped.
When you sharpen a knife, you’re removing material from the edge to create a new edge. If there are any bits of the blade that are chipped, they’ll be removed via the sharpening process.
