hello everyone Nate here with SimplySharp and continuing along with our knife care and maintenance series um so this knife uh and we were using a little bit before it’s not the sharpest I’m really having to saw to get through uh a cucumber here and if you saw my earlier video uh you’ll know that I like to use a cucumber as a good test of whether or not my knife is still sharp so let’s say your knife isn’t sharp and you you just can’t wait for me to come to your home and sharpen your knife for you what can you do um saw this on the internet I’m going to use the bottom of this coffee cup it could be a bowl it could be something like that but you’ll feel on the bottom of a lot of these um what do you call this stuff a ceramic or whatever the stuff that is made out of uh it’s rough right so it’s kind of an abrasive just like a sharpening stone or a sanding belt or anything else that you use a sharpen knife it’s an abrasive so here’s the here’s the hack so you’re supposed to be able to kind of at the right angle draw the knife across it to me it kind of seems like this is more of like an aggressive hone you know I feel like it’s kind of like honing it but maybe it’s just more aggressive so let’s just see what happens here we’re gonna do this a little bit now I’m a little dubious about this because when we sharpen a knife we don’t go go like laterally with the edge like that we kind of go like this so that the abrasive is in line with the edge instead of going across it so I’m a little leer if this thing is going to work but hey in a pinch it might work and I will say I can feel that it’s kind of gotten a little smoother um the knife is not kind of holding up as much so I don’t know maybe we’ve done a good job here all right so I don’t know I don’t feel like normally when you sharpen uh once you know you’ve you’ve kind of done the job is you’ll feel a burr I don’t feel really a bur um we’re going to try to just hone this a little bit too actually no we’re not going to do that we’re g to just test it we might come back and hone it so let’s see a little bit it’s a little sharper so I’d say in a pinch Maybe
