Oh, Stephanie, you know, I love this question so much because when I finished my, uh, Rouxbe, uh, assignments, I went out and bought myself a schon knife. And I was so excited to have it because I thought that it was going to have me be the most proficient vegetable cutter in the world. Um, I have others that I like more. Uh, if you look into the HUN Diagram, they give you specific instructions for each model that you have used. I prefer using a wet stone at a 45 degree angle. That's what has always worked well for me. I also suggest that whether it's a hun or whether it's a, you know, an easy knife that you do take it and get it sharpened professionally. I have some Cutco knives that I really love and twice a year as a knife guy comes. But I always use a wetstone after I chop, do a lot of chopping so that I know when I pick up the knife next time that it has been sharpened and will work really, really well. So, take good care of your knives, but also look for some other things that might be more comfortable for you.
