ZB Sharpening - Professional Knife & Scissor Sharpening Service

11/06/2022

Hello All!
And I hope that all your digits are attached and you are treating your Knives with the Respect they deserve and they in return are making life easier in the Kitchen. :)

Anyway, just wanted to remind everyone that the Cutting and Carving Season is rapidly approaching and to not wait till the last minute to get your Kknives Sharpened, as the Que gets longer the closer we get to the Holidays.

Also wanted to mention I will be paying more attention to the FaceBook Site and start posting Info, Tips & Hints, and general things about Knives, Scissors, Tools and even Cooking.

So, stay tuned, post questions if you have them, and I will try to get back into FaceBook and All Things Sharp.

As always, my Website, www.zbsharpening.com, is up (Fingers crossed) but needs to be updated.
I noticed I have a Copyright of 2019! Yeah, that's how long I haven't updated or raised prices even (Hint Hint .... get them while they are old). Lots of info on that site, so really not outdated.

Anyway, look forward to seeing everyone over the Holidays and hope some Super Sharp Knives may help to make the Festive Season even better.

Enjoy!

Honing Rods .... should you be using them?

ABSOLUTELY!

Just want to touch on this quickly, I'll expand later as I plan to do a write-up on them, but for now this:

You should be using your hone every single time you pick up a knife.
Yes, every single time.
Its all about maintenance.

Remember, you are HONING ... not Sharpening.

As stated, I'm redoing the site and will add an article and more importantly, a video on how to hone.
But that's for later.

For now, do hone every time you pull that knife out ..... LIGHTLY, and you will straighten, debur, and retooth your edge.

Bottom line, your knives will stay sharper, longer, as long as you are doing it correctly.
More to come.

But for now, just want to mention my Ceramic Honing Rod of choice .... the Idahone 1200 grit.

You can get it from the maker from his site:
https://www.idahoners.com/product-page/12-fine-grit-rod-with-black-wood-handle

You can also find it on Chefknivestogo.com.

From all the ones I have used, his is truly a 1200 grit super smooth Hone.

I recommend it to all my clients, you cannot go wrong with this Honing Rod.

This fine rod is ideal for keeping knives honed with a grit of about 1200. Overall length is 17.5", rod is 12" with a diameter of 12.7 mm.Includes a hanging ring and fine wood handle crafted from hard rock maple.

Question ... as its apple time, does anyone know the perfect recipe for Caramel for apples.
I'm talking for tart Green Grannies.

I know the basics, but have never hit the perfect mix ..... like I used to get at Jenks on Point Pleasant before the store closed.

Damn they had the perfect mix, thickness and Grannies :)

OK, long time no post.

I tend to neglect my FB ;)

As the leaves are already falling, its that time of the year ... CARVING TIME!

You all know the drill .... just get in touch and we'll make arrangements to meet or if you have questions, Mail-In.

Enjoy the best time of the year ..... perfect temps for a month :)

Happy post Thanksgiving Everyone!

Hope everyone had a great time and the Turkey Carving went smooth as silk :)

Now, for those that forgot to get there Knives Sharpened before Thanksgiving, there is still time to have your Knives Carving Sharp for Christmas and New Years Dinner.

Just give a shout and I can get those Knives ready for anything you can throw at them!

Touching base to remind everyone to not wait until the last minute to get those Knives ready for Turkey Carving Day!

Wow have I neglected my page!
And its Memorial Day weekend already!

Been getting some fantastic knives lately, Japanese and US with great great steel and the edges they hold are blowing me away.
Nice to see that kind of quality, easily shaving sharp.

That said, after the Holiday and if your BBQ slicing and dicing didn't go quite as expected, plan ahead for the next one ;)

I got to get some time to put up some pictures of these knives before I have to get them back but am afraid I'm gonna run out of time.

Happy Memorial Day to you all and a sad Thank You to our fallen heroes.

Yes, its getting to be that time of the year again where we all put a little extra time in the kitchen. Turkey Time, Ham Time, Prime Rib Time and general lots of cooking time!

If you haven't, don't forget to make your Holiday Cooking a bit easier by making sure your knives have a new Sharp Edge on them.

Remember, I'll be getting busier the closer we get to the Holidays so please keep in mind that turn around may be delayed a day or two :)
