## Questions & Answers

**Q: When sharpening - do you use a German knife sharpener, since it's a German manufacturer, or a Japanese style, since it's a Japanese blade style?**
A: Use a great quality Asian sharpener or learn how to use whetstones preferably. A German sharpener sharpener  sharpens the edge at approximately 21° whereas the Asian sharpeners  sharpens between 10 and 15°. This blade is so thin on this knife that it is definitely  recommended to sharpen it at the Asian 10 to 15° as this will result in a razor blade. And there's no need to sharpen too often, just straightening the teeth out quickly with a good quality honing steel.
