Knife Jimping Explained
EXAMPLE OF KNIFE “JIMPING”
Knife ‘jimping’ originated from north england and the scotland regions of the world. the term ‘jimping’ means; neat, handsome, and slender in form. it is the process of placing groves into the knife blade at its spine. This provides traction for the fingertips from slipping when using a knife. Worldwide, the knife industry uses many methods to machine cut (or jimp), their knives yet still reference it as jimping. Authentic ‘jimping’ is called file-work and is done by hand. Its application evolves a talented and trained hand with many generations of experience! Jimping may be machine-cut by automated slitters, mills, or blades, but file work must be hand cut.
Knife blades lose their sharpness with use, especially the carbon steel blades. A dull knife blade will not only be useless, but can also be more likely to slide off its cutting surface onto a finger or hand! That is why it is important to have the right tool to keep your knife edge sharpened. And ‘knife steel’ is the correct tool for safely sharpening any knife blade. Find yours by clicking here
