Sharpening our 2nd chef's knife. They get a lot of use in our kitchen, and this one was long due.

Can I use a tomato as proof of sharpness? Because that’s what inspired me to sharpen this knife. I’ve been watching videos on methods and felt prepared to take it on when I started dicing this tomato and couldn’t get through it with my favorite kitchen knife. Used a whetstone with two sides of different coarseness. Cut right through the tomato after sharpening with no drag and even nicked my fingernail.

Note: The knife looks sharp now, but it needs to be proven by cutting paper
