About this sound

“Professional Chefs love These”
Jayden, when he first posted this sound on YouTube in February 2025

Here's a knife getting run across a sharpening steel, a few fast strokes back to back. About 3 seconds, almost no gaps. It's bright and hissy with a metal ring on every pass, and it's pretty loud. Good for a chef getting ready in a kitchen scene.

Editing notes

Measured from this file.

  • It's −13.9 LUFS, about 4 dB louder than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So start with the fader lower when you swap it in.
