How Often Should You Sharpen Furi Knives?

Furi Knives Are Durable

Furi knives are known for their professional-grade quality and durability. Even with frequent use, the Furi knife blades will likely not need sharpening as often as the blades of cheaper kitchen knives.

Sharper Is Safer

Chopping and slicing with a dull knife can cause you to use excessive force and increase the risk of cutting yourself. All knives, including chef-quality ones like Furi, require sharpening at some point to make them easier and safer to use.

Bottom Line

You can use a sharpening or honing steel, which realigns the teeth on the knife, as often as you see fit, but should plan to resharpen, or re-edge, the blade when it becomes too dull for easy and safe cutting, recommends the Food Network. Expect to do this every nine months to once a year, says Lansing; more if you use your knife frequently or for tough jobs.
