"How often should we sharpen"

This is a common question asked daily in our shop in Edina, MN when customers pick up their kitchen knives from service. The answer can be both short or long.

Basically you'll need to sharpen (remove metal) when ever you want and less often if you're doing a little work in-between services to 1) push your cutting edges straight and to 2) leave some texture on them. 

Okay. So, with tool should I use? 

Most don't use hones. We hear things like, "I never use that thing" and "I used it once and it made my knife duller" and the most frequent "I'm afraid of that thing."

So, we set out to find a collaborative partner to design and manufacture a unique tool to overdeliver on approachability and impact for home cooks, line cooks, TikTok cooks, chefs, butchers, weekend warriors and more. We found that partner in Nano Hone and the product is the Truer. 

About the Truer

Designed to be stable in one hand and as easy-to-use as buttering toast, the Truer is unmatched in the marketplace. It's thin yet ridged. It's gritty yet smooth. The Nano Hone stacked diamond resin presents abrasives that both straighten kitchen knife edges with power and provide texture - in two different grits on the same tool. 

For added awesome, the tool encourages trailing edge (vs. compression) moves that make the whole experience less about doing it "right" and more about happy maintenance. It'll provide feedback to stop if/when a user is about to cause damage. And if that were not enough, the abrasive on the Truer runs the thickness of the resin which makes for a long lasting tool by design. 

Get one. No, really. It's fantastic.
