Reply to comment by Sierra419 in LPT: Shop for kitchen supplies at restaurant supply stores by guyinnova

My grandmother honed on her stone kitchen steps. When she passed away her knives were sharp, old, half the size my father remembered.

The top step was worn almost to nothing.

That’s not honing though. That’s sharpening. A honing rod is metal and reshapes the blade edge to make it sharp again by aligning the point. Stones sharpen the blade by removing metal.
