What happens here

Sharpen all butchering knives using an electric knife sharpener. The host uses a Chef'sChoice 151 electric knife sharpener. He demonstrates sharpening his KA-BAR knife by pulling it through the 'medium setting' slots of the sharpener multiple times on each side until it is extremely sharp. He then repeats the process for his everyday butcher knife, emphasizing that a sharp knife is crucial for efficient and safe meat processing.

Goal: Ensure all butchering knives are extremely sharp.
