[Sharpening a Knife]
Whetstones, sharpening steels, sharpeners, strops, and other tools are used to repair or maintain the edge of a knife.
- Sharpening
Metal is removed to create a sharper edge. Several types of whetstones are used for different steps.
Rough sharpening (using a coarse-grained whetstone)
Medium sharpening (using a fine-grained whetstone)
Finishing (using a very fine-grained whetstone)
- Maintaining the edge (stropping)
This tool is used to smooth the edge during the maintenance and sharpening process. Sharpening the edge results in a smoother, sharper edge.
