But it often gets confused with sharpening, even though they’re not the same thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo break it down to first principles, sharpening is taking away material, and honing isn’t. Instead, honing is straightening out the edge of an already sharp blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat’s it.

It corrects the edge without shaving off much, if any, of the blade's material. Honing doesn't actually sharpen the knife, but if done properly, the knife will seem sharper because the blade is now in the proper position. Honing should be done often — some even hone before each use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eSharpening:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eSharpening, on the other hand, is a process where bits of the blade is ground and shaved off to produce a new, sharp edge. It can be done using a water stone, whetstone, or electric knife sharpener. Sharpening can be done less frequently than honing — just a few times a month depending on how much use the knife gets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0402\/2203\/2034\/files\/k_archive_d4b4b36f11883a50289bfeadd0375637b9328c11_480x480.jpg?v=1619597802\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHoning Instruction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col class=\"a-ordered-list a-vertical\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003ePlace the plastic tip of the Honing Rod on a solid surface.
