| | | | | Q: What got you started in knife sharpening? | | | | | | | A: I started in the kitchen industry and have always loved knives. One of my best friends taught me how to use a whetstone to keep them sharp, and I really enjoyed the process. When I saw an opening for a sharpening job in Naples, FL, I jumped at the opportunity. Four years later, I'm still in the industry and love what I do. | | | | | | | | | |

| | | | | Q: What's the most common knife-sharpening mistake people make at home? | | | | | | | A: Leaving your knives in the sink or running them through the dishwasher can damage them. It's best to wash them by hand right after use and dry them immediately. | | | | | | | | | |

|
| | | | | Q: What's the most unusual knife you've ever worked on? | | | | | | | | A: In my four years doing this, I've come across a lot of interesting knives, but the one that sticks out to me was a set with handles made from fossilized bones. | | | | | | | | | |

|
| | | | | Q: What's your top tip for keeping knives sharper for longer? | | | | | | | A: Learning how to properly use a honing rod, which is an easy skill to learn and helps your knife stay sharp twice as long. | | | | | | | | | |

|
| | | | | Q: Why is professional knife sharpening better than DIY methods? | | | | | | | A: Definitely experience! We've sharpened hundreds of thousands of knives and have seen it all. It's a craft we take a lot of pride in, and we use specialized equipment that most people don't have at home. | | | | | | | | | |
