Knives


I am completely dysfunctional when it comes to knife sharpening. I hate that about me. 

Oh I have a little device that is almost wReggie proof that allows me to keeps a decent edge, but I would really like to be able to hone a knife. 

At least now I have come to terms with my disability and will not waste money on sharpening stones.

I learned the basic stone scrape from my dad but it wasn't until hitchhiking that I met a guy in the Snake River Canyon who taught me the true form of honing a knife blade. Patience and good sunlight are important. As you sharpen the edge it will disappear. Even the most minute (.001") dull spot will show as a shiny spot when held in the light.

I have been known to take my cutlery to the butcher in the supermarket where they sharpen the knives for free.

Because Ken will not come out and sharpen my knives.

I must not use my knives often enough because I think I can count on one hand the number of times I've ever sharpened a knife. Maybe the hubby does it when I'm not looking. That would explain how I nearly took my thumb off with a bread knife recently while trying to slice a Ciabatta roll.

But most likely, our kitchen utensils are just seriously underused.
