If you are using the knife a lot then sharpen the edge with honing steel every now on then. Actually an angle of 15-25 degree is just about right. To get an estimate of the angle of the blade, hold the blade and bend the blade half way to make a 45 degree angle, then bend it half way further to make a 22 degree angle.

I am notorious for pushing food around the cutting board with the edge of the knife blade. I just can’t help it but I’ll be thinking about it the next time I am cutting up some onions. I know a few of my friends have ruined their knives by putting them in the dishwasher. So Tragic!
Thanks, Billy

If their weight is on the sharp edge, they dull more quickly.

I have never known how to sharpen the knife with the tool thingy that came with them. The electric sharpeners look nice though and a fast way to keep knives working good as new.
