How frequently do I need to have my knives sharpened?
When your knife no longer cuts easily, then sharpening will benefit you. If it takes effort to get your knife or tool to cut, then it has become dull. A sharp knife cuts easily through the skins of fruits and vegetables and slices bread and meat with ease.

How did you learn to sharpen?
I researched several different methods of sharpening and experimented with several of them. In addition to self-education, I trained with Steve Bottorff. In addition, I consulted with various professional sharpeners from around the country to learn from them as well.
