Knife specialists in shops are usually on-hand to offer advice on which blade to buy and what kind of handle to choose, but it's aftercare that really counts. Steve Walpole takes us through the basics of looking after the sharpest tools in the kitchen.
Steve then demonstrated some basic knife skills: chopping an onion, cutting vegetables into julienne strips, then into brunoise - a very fine dice.

I enjoyed the guide but would like to know how I can get my ceramic knives sharpened. I have had them for about five years and recently bought a new one for my daughter and realised how blunt mine had become. Does anyone know an answer to this? I can find lots of places on the internet that will sell me new knives but none that resharpen them.
very good guide i am currently at school and his guide tells you better than the teachers can. down side is that the commercials are annoying because you have to find where you were in the video. (8/10)
You obviously don't consider that a deaf person might want to enter your competition. I had to go and find a friend and ask them to listen to the video and tell me the answer.
