chosen: Some of the techniques you can use to sharpen your knife if it is too dull are wet honing, dry honing, stropping, using a diamond rod and honing steels. Wet honing is done by honing the blade in a sharpening medium like water or specialized lubricants. Dry honing involves honing the blade on an immovable object such as a stone. Stropping is done by rubbing the back of the blade in one direction against a piece of fine fabric or leather. Using a diamond rod is a popular choice among professionals and involves rubbing the blade in a round motion with the rod. Lastly, honing steels are designed to be sharpened and help to hone the blade's edge.
