To answer that, there is one way that I personally have studied to make sure a knife is perfectly sharp, and has no dents. If you own a black light all you have to do is take dull or dented knifes and sharpener and black light and set them up, make sure when using the black light the room is dim. After you've sharpened put the knife (slice side up) at a 45 degree angle and study the purple tint along the blade. Areas where it is darker are deeper sharpens, areas in which are lighter are higher and or are dents ( if just a small fraction is lighter, it's a dent) sharpen till its done right and there you go!

How do you remove the skin from cheese?

If you want to remove the thick outer skin from a block of cheese (usually part of a cheese wheel) then the best way to do so is with a knife. Take a long, sharp kitchen knife, and place the cheese in such a way that the skin faces away from you. Then, slide the knife between the cheese and the skin and gently peel away the skin like you would with an apple. Make sure to always cut away from yourself.
