Knife tips with Toga!

To preserve the longevity of your knife you should always hone and sharpen it! A common misconception is that a steel honing rod will sharpen your knife! This is false. A honing steel is meant to straighten out any dings and dents in the blade and help preserve that original sharpness.

A whetstone is meant for sharpening! Soak thoroughly in water and use the coarse side for a few strikes first before using the fine side! Remember to switch the side of the blade with every strike for perfect evenness, and to always do so at a 20 degree angle whether it’s rod or stone you’re using!

5 Considerations When Choosing or Using a Self-Defense Knife

Do you carry or have you given it serious thought? What, which, how, when? Although knives can be easy to carry, and legal (in some way) almost anywhere in the US, there are many characteristics and situations to consider. A knife can offer protection, sometimes deadly, but it could be the only thing that saves your life. I've heard too many stories of guns jamming or of a person being disarmed. Don't get us wrong, you should carry a legal firearm when possible, but even so you may end up in a state, county, city or venue/event that won't allow one. What then? Sometimes a good knife is the answer.

If you've dug around the web you know there are a lot of people and sites talking self defense and their effective use. Go with a trusted source and actually listen to what is said. Many points will be valid, but not all to you or your situation. You will no doubt experiment with your first purchase or two until you settle on what suits you best. Don't think of it as a waste of money, but a cheap education. Here are five things to keep in mind when choosing a self-defense knife.

Celery Dicing Tip

I love learning new ways to slice and dice. Here is a fun and quick way to both fine and rough dice celery stalks. 

Lay the stalk like this.

Slice 3 slices along the stalk for rough chop and 5 for finely diced. Note how I stopped a slicing before I hit the base of the stalk.

Then slice across the stalk to get the diced end result. Make the slices closer together for finer dicing.

Enjoy,

PK

Knife Tip: Sharp = SAFE, Dull = DANGEROUS. A sharp knife handles with more control, while a dull knife can slip or jump while cutting, with potential injury.
