What should you not do when sharpening a knife?

THE DON'TS Don't run your knife through a knife system or device. Running your blade through a device will unevenly chew up the edge, can scratch the face of the blade, and will not get your knife as sharp as using a whetstone to sharpen.

Now that you have some tips on knife care, maintenance, and sharpening, look through your knife collection and pick out the knives you think need some attention. If you do not sharpen your knives at home we encourage you to find a sharpener who is trustworthy and reliable. Before taking your precious tools in, do a little research and find out what type of sharpening the business performs. Ask questions and get to know their techniques. At Town Cutler we provide complimentary knife sharpening for all Town Cutler knives. We also offer mail-in sharpening service if you do not live near our location. We also encourage people to learn how to sharpen your knives at home, we recommend investing in high quality sharpening supplies. Knife sharpening is a great skill to have and with time and practice we think you will be happy with the outcome of your blades when you learn how to sharpen properly. Even with consistent at home knife sharpening, we still recommend you bring your knives to a professional from time-to-time to have them tuned-up. Much like visiting the dentist, even though you brush your teeth everyday and do a good job at home, at least once or twice a year you need to see a professional to have them inspected and thoroughly taken care of. ALL knives will benefit from regular maintenance and routine sharpening, whether you do it yourself or bring them to a knowledgeable professional. The frequency of which you need to maintenance and sharpen your knife depends on how often you use it and the knife itself. Once your knife starts to slip on the product you are cutting or you notice that it requires some effort to cut through food, it’s time to give your knives some attention. We also like to remind people that while it’s always important to be mindful when using a knife, a sharp knife is safer than a dull knife and makes for a better experience in the kitchen.

kleankanteen.com - Seven Principles of Leave No Trace - Klean Kanteen

We spend a lot of time talking about how we can work together to reduce the impact we have on our environment. Although most the tips and tricks we share are directed toward our day-to-day lives, it’s equally important to make sure our stewardship of the environment reaches into our leisure time. In honor of the National Parks Service centennial, which is tomorrow, Thursday, August 25, we want to share the Seven Principles of Leave No Trace from our partner Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics. We believe practicing these principles is the cornerstone of being responsible when we spend time outdoors in the places we love.

The Leave No Trace Seven Principles

Whether trying to sneak in one more camping trip before autumn descends or act more responsibly on your local trails, these principles can help all of us live a life of environmental stewardship whenever we step into the wilderness, even if it is right in our own backyard. Dive deeper into each one of these principles and learn more about our amazing partner Leave No Trace on their website.

About our partnership with Leave No Trace:

This is the second year we have partnered with Leave No Trace at events across the United States. Together we amplify our shared missions around responsible recreation and leaving the outdoors the same (if not better!) as we found them. At over a dozen events this year we have contributed Kanteens to the gift packages handed out to the winners of Leave No Trace’s Campsite Challenges, a program that asks event attendees how they are making their camps as low impact as possible. We look forward to further collaboration and reaching more people with our shared mission around eliminating waste and leaving no trace in 2017 and beyond.
