How to Sharpen Steak Knife
A dull knife isn’t just annoying; it’s a safety hazard. When you push harder, the blade slips, and suddenly you’re bleeding into your mashed potatoes. Think of a sharp edge like a smiling cat—you want it to glide, not fight back.
Your steak knife usually has a serrated or straight edge. If it’s the little saw-blade kind (serrated), you’re in luck. They stay sharp longer than their straight cousins, but they still need love. If it’s a straight-edged beauty, treat it like a fickle friend—it demands attention after every few uses.
