Avoid Excessive Pressure and Over-sharpening one common mistake when sharpening stainless steel knives is applying too significantly pressure or over-sharpening the blade. Stainless steel is harder and less forgiving than softer materials, so it's important to use a light contact and sustain a consistent sharpening angle to prevent damaging the edge. Additionally, frequent sharpening can carry down the blade unnecessarily, so sharpen just when needed to maintain the knife's longevity.
