Kitchen Knives and Their Uses | Sharpening Knives and More

In this video we talk about chef knives and the best knives for cooking. We go step by step through every chef knife, what the knife is used for, and how to sharpen knives. There is even a demo on how to chop vegetables! We walk through how to oil a stone, the angle to sharpen your knife, the best way to sharpen a chef's knife, and all of the different things the knives are used for.
