Butcher Block Cutting & Kitchen Knife
Butcher block cutting used to be more common in a butcher shop than in a private household kitchen, but this type of cutting board is becoming more popular for home use. Butcher block cutting is simply using a heavier type of cutting board or chopping block for your kitchen chopping needs. Butcher blocks are more sturdy versions of a standard cutting board, but can also double as a tabletop for home usage. The advantage of butcher block cutting is resilience. Butcher blocks are usually made of work and are crafted to be able to withstand even the largest and most powerful knife cuttings. There are two main types of butcher blocks. The first is called an end grain butcher block, and is crafted by placing many small pieces of wood vertically and side by side into a large wooden slab. When end grain butcher blocks are crafted, the cut pieces are facing upwards, creating an extremely durable and dense slab of wood that is able to withstand the sharpest knife strokes. End grain butcher blocks are easy to resurface because of the thickness of the vertical pieces of wood. The other type of butcher block is known as an edge grain butcher block. This type of block is crafted with several horizontal pieces of wood placed together into a large wooden slab. Edge grain butcher blocks are not as durable as end grain butcher blocks, and cannot withstand resurfacing as well, but are much more cost effective. Both types of butcher block cuttings are designed to hold up against even the strongest kitchen knife.

Blade sharpening can be a simple process if you have the right tools. A general blade sharpening process involves two steps. The first step of blade sharpening involves sharpening the edge with an abrasive material, such as a sharpening stone. This part of the blade sharpening process removes material from the blade, thereby sharpening the edge. The second part of the blade sharpening process is known as honing. This process smoothes the rough edges of the blade's edge through a variety of means, ranging from smooth hard metal to polishing the edge with strong leather after blade sharpening.
