Hi, I'm Andre from House of Knives, and today's Quick Tip is:
How do I tell if my knife is sharp?
Through the years, many people come up with different techniques
I've seen people come into our stores and shave hair on their arm
I've seen people cut paper with their knives
I've heard people do the feel test and listen test
Based on how the knife sounds
But my method that I've used over all these decades
is simply my nail
If you have a dull edge, and you put it on your nail
it will slide off your nail
and the great thing I love about this method
I can judge the sharpness of the knife
based on how much I angle my nail
The steeper I angle my nail
the sharper the knife has to be in order to stick to the nail
That's today's Quick Tip of the Day! Thanks for watching.
