SELF-ASSESSMENT WORKSHEET
Ecclesiastes 10:10 (NJKV), If the ax is dull, and one does not sharpen the edge, then he must use more strength; but wisdom produces success.”
(NLT), Since a dull ax requires great strength, sharpen the blade. That's the value of wisdom; it helps you succeed.
(NIV), If the ax is dull and its edge unsharpened, more strength is needed but skill will bring success.
“Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the saw.” ~ Attributed to Abraham Lincoln
From a knife sharpening guide:
“Maintaining Your Edge”
A properly maintained knife is sharp. A dull knife can be dangerous because you will apply much more pressure than you would with a sharp knife and your hand will be much more likely to slip.
A honing tool will realign the edge and also bring to the surface the carbon molecules that provide most of the cutting action. Frequent honing is essential and will keep your knife cutting like new for months.
Use your honing tool virtually every time you use your knives.
