Why Sharpening Matters
A sharp blade isn’t just more effective—it’s safer, more precise, and more enjoyable to use. Whether you're in the kitchen, workshop, or outdoors, a dull edge can slip, snag, or damage your material—putting you and your tools and digits at risk. Regular sharpening maintains performance, extends the life of your knives and tools, and helps you work with confidence and control. It’s a small step that makes a big difference..
