Is My Knife Dull?
Run your knife through these 5 tests. Check each one it fails.
RESULT (0/5 tests failed)
Your knife is still sharp. Hone it monthly to maintain the edge.
Common Questions
What if I fail just one test?
Your knife is getting dull but not urgent. Book sharpening within the next few weeks to prevent it from becoming a safety issue.
Can I sharpen it myself?
Honing with a rod maintains an edge between professional sharpenings. But once your knife fails 2+ tests, you need professional grinding to restore the geometry.
How long does professional sharpening take?
Most orders are done within 24-48 hours. Same-day service available for mobile pickups scheduled before noon in Austin.
