Sharpening Knives

Hi, in today's John The Butcher Tutorial I am going to show you various ways you can sharpen your knives. First with the Electric Sharpener, secondly with the Combination Stone, and finally how to keep your knife sharp and maintain a perfect edge.
Please bear in mind that electric sharpeners, although effective and quick to use, do grind your knives away quite quickly.
Lastly once you have beautifully sharp knives, do not put them in the dishwasher, as the coarse washing abrasion blunts them. After use, get into the habit of rinsing and drying your knife and placing it in a safe place. Although it's common sense, never leave your knives in a bowl of washing up water, where they may go unnoticed, you or someone else may go to into the bowl to grab something to wash and could catch the blade, and your knives will now be razor sharp.

I'm John The Butcher and my weekly tutorials will show you how you can prepare meat to restaurant quality presentation in your own home.
Although I am a Master Butcher I do appreciate not everyone has all the tools at home that a butcher or chef would use to prepare meat.
I will therefore demonstrate to you how to achieve outstanding results using basic equipment. I will also be looking at ways you can prepare cuts of meat at home to save you money. If you like my tutorials please subscribe to my Youtube channel and I can share all my weekly videos with you.
