Professional chefs tend to sharpen their knives by themselves using whetstones, which are just what they sound like: rectangular stones, that are lubricated by water, and that are used to sharpen knives by rubbing the alternating edges that cut edge with the stone, at an acute angle. It takes a lot of training and skill but many chefs and home cooks are adamant about it since it is the best way to get the sharpest edge and the longest lifespan from a knife.
A dull knife rips through food, releasing flavor. A sharp knife slices effortlessly through food items, keeping the flavors while cutting.
Professional knife sharpening services range from $5 per blade to upwards of $20 per blade. This isn't a huge difference if you're just sharpening some knives you really care about, and we think it's worth it, however when you're sharpening a number of knives or have a tight budget, the budget alternatives (like Sur La Table) are a great choice.
Each time a tool gets resharpened, the service life of the tool is extended which means that you can save the cost of purchasing a new tool. This is why it's beneficial from a cost perspective to upgrade a tool earlier!
