Chemical sharpening is much like when you suck on a candy cane long enough. The hook is exposed to a corrosive material which takes away layers of material just like you sucking on a candycane. Just like a candycane if you stop at the right time then you are left with an incredibly sharp hook. This process is great for the manufacturer because it can be done on thousands of hooks at once without any machining.
