    WHAT YOU'LL NEED

    STEP 1

    Use a honing rod

    Between uses, a honing rod will realign the blades. Start by holding the rod verticle, anchoring it on the cutting board. Then, grip your knife facing down at a slight angle – about 15 degrees.

    STEP 2

    Sweep back to front

    Starting with the heel of the knife touching the rod –sweep the knife back finishing with the tip. Apply only as much pressure as the weight of the knife when drawing it across the rod. Repeat the process on the other side.
