About this listen

Knife work is the foundation of cooking, and most chefs never learn it correctly. In this episode of Chef’s PSA, Andre Natera sits down with Don Smolik (Study The Blade) and knife maker Kolter Livengood to break down knife maintenance, sharpening technique, steel selection, blade geometry, stone care, and how to choose the right knife for your work.

They cover personal stories from the kitchen, common mistakes, and the real method behind effective knife care. If you’re a chef, line cook, or culinary student, this is essential listening.
