There is no such thing as stainless steel! All steel alloys are only more or less rust-resistant. This means that even where it says \"stainless,\" the oxidation process occurs. However, it is imperceptibly slow, in the nanometer range, so to speak. But that's enough to gradually release more and more molecules from the microfine cutting edge. Therefore, it is true that washing sharp knives dulls them over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTip: Clean knives immediately after use and dry them right away. This will keep the blade sharper longer.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2. The honing steel does not sharpen knives; it \"maintains\" them. The honing steel realigns the microfine cutting edge that bends during use. If the cutting edge is properly worn, the knife is dull and can only be sharpened again with grinding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTip: Regularly use the honing steel on your knife to retain more of its original sharpness.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3. Beware of advertised \"super sharpening machines\" for home use or so-called \"grinding experts\" who offer dubious sharpening services! Some have even crowned themselves sharpening world champions. Steel alloys are hardened under the influence of heat. And under the influence of heat, the steel also loses its hardness again. This process begins at oven temperatures! The hotter it is, the faster the process occurs. If a knife is sharpened without cooling on a fast-running, dry abrasive, you may get a very sharp knife, but its blade will have lost its hardness due to friction heat precisely at the most important part, the cutting edge. It's particularly bad if sparks are generated during sharpening, which is proof of temperatures of at least 1,000°C. Knives mistreated in this way can only be thrown away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTip: Sharpen dull knives either by hand on a \"wet\" sharpening stone or with a slow-running wet grinder. Only this way can you ensure that the achieved sharpness lasts a long time.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NEW EDMAHONY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57498531266885,"sku":"14-25 cm","price":10.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/edmahony-knives.com\/en\/products\/sharpening-service-for-hunting-pocket-knives-up-to-14-25-cm","provider":"Ed Mahony Blades","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
