One day doing it that way he's gonna cut his tallywacker off. Absolutely nuts steeling towards one's self !

 

 

But thats the proper method..... you shouldn't cut anything off unless you're retarded lol.....

 

 

That vid was correct except for the direction of the stroke.

You should never bring the knive inward...lotta hot shots on the food network stick to the old school ways and set a bad exsample.

But truth be told,

You'll straiten your edge regardless of the direction you run.

The fundimental difference is you can't cut your self if your running the knife away from yourself, were there is an increased risk you'll catch yourself by bringing it in ward.

 

To each there own, both directions work...one is safe, one is not.

 

But yeah I'd throw that knife out, and get a new one unless your partial to it?

Cause the only real way to sharpen it is to get a good stone or sharpening system which will cost more then the $10 you spent.

Or you could have it sharpened at your local knife store but again...its gonna cost a few bucks.

A steel is great for Maintaining your knife after, and before each use, but even that only prolongs your next actual sharpening.

Cheers,
