blade sharpening
Grinding cutting edges
Blade sharpening is the process of restoring a cutting edge to a knife, tool, or other bladed instrument.
This involves removing material from the edge using abrasives—whetstones, honing rods, or powered grinders—to create a fine, consistent bevel.
The chef took his knives in for blade sharpening every few months.
