So YOU Want to Sharpen... A Western Chef's Knife | Episode

Published: 2 years ago

This video is the first in a series I am starting called, "So You Want to Sharpen..." Each episode will feature a different knife or type of knife, on which I will walk through the entire sharpening process. Every knife offers a slightly different challenge or process for sharpening, so with this series, I want to go over and address all the unique aspects of the wide variety of knives that I will show.
