How Can I Sharpen A Chefs Knife Without A Knife Sharpener Or A Sharpening Stone?

Our local kitchen store sharpens them for $3 a knife. But, one of the supermarkets here (Raleys) will sharpen them for free in the meat department while you shop.

Is It Safe To Eat Food That Is Cut From A Knife Just Sharpened By Chef With A Stone But Knife Is Not Cleaned ?

here is the most common problem that we often encounter in the restaurants. If you purchase food from a restaurant and if the kitchen is located just right next to the cashier like those you found in the Mexican restaurant and some fast food chains like Boston Market. Here is the problem, often times, they sharpened their knife with a stone or metal rod and immediately cut into the food without even washing or cleaning the knife. This will leave very small tiny little pieces of metal debris into the food that you just ordered. My question is, is it safe to eat food with metal debris on it ? or it could be harmful ? I just don’t know why they are so lazy not to wash the sharpened knife with water before cutting the food. I have seen this many many times at various restaurants and I avoid going to those restaurants.
