Sharpening a bread knife is an important task that can help to keep your knife in good condition and performing at its best. A sharp bread knife will make it easier to slice through bread without tearing or crushing it, and it will also help to prevent the bread from sticking to the knife.
There are a few different ways to sharpen a bread knife, but the most common method is to use a sharpening steel. A sharpening steel is a long, thin rod made of steel that is used to realign the edge of the knife. To use a sharpening steel, hold the knife at a 20-degree angle to the steel and draw the knife down the length of the steel, using light pressure. Repeat this process on the other side of the knife.
