Having your knives sharpened professionally ensures precision, knife longevity, safety, quality, time and convenience.

Depending on usage, household knives should be sharpened 2-3 times per year. 

Honing and sharpening are two distinct processes that serve different purposes.  Honing involves a honing rod to realign or straighten the edge of the blade.  Sharpening is a process that involves removing metal from the blade to create a new, sharp edge.  The result is a finer more precise edge, making the knife much sharper.

A honing rod should be used as maintenance between sharpening.
