knife sharpener

tazcrash · April 2012

good idea. I use Henkels and have been putting them in the dishwasher. This is how this thread got started. They are DULL and lose edge rapidly after using my crap sharpener

Not only that, the dishwasher killed the handle on my Henkels pairing knife.

So there seems to be some proper chefs on this site huh?

I've got a set of knives, nothing fancy, certainly not 'razor' sharp, though, they do the trick. I've also got a 2 sided whet stone from Henkels that I pull out once in awhile (this one I think http://www2.zwilling.com/en-US/sortiment/Cutlery--knives/Chapter--kapitel/How-to-sharpen-a-knife--2662/Page--2.html )

I'm curious though... I've always learned that good knives are HAND WASHED, not dishwasher safe. Can anybody comment?

You don't need good knives to get them really sharp they just wont hold the sharpness as long. I think I paid $11.99 for this knife at TJ Maxx to use while camping and its sharp.

Never put a knife you care about in the dishwasher. Hand wash with cold water, as even hot water can affect certain metals and handle.
