Topic: Knife Sharpeners

Interesting product but it does seem a right pain in the bum to do, I know if I brought that, it would sit at the back of my cupboard until I do a car-boot sale!  I do use a any-sharp and would recommend that.

Nice to see you back, Matt. Thought you'd ran over the edge of a tall building or something

Thanks Sue, I'm still struggling with the loss of 5 minuets I spent watching the video  ;D

I have one of those contraptions that Sue28 posted in the video. It's brilliant and I have ended up sharpening knives for other people including a local butcher! Dangerous though - it puts a razor edge on.  A couple of months ago I got back from a convivial drink with a neighbour who makes his own "pineau" (also used to power French space rockets) and decided to chop up some onions ready for the next day (as you do). I forgot how sharp I had made my favourite knife and amputated the end of my finger. I am only just starting to play guitar again.
Beware.

Could have been worse, LC -- you could have lost a whole sarabande ...

Thought you'd lost your marbles there Phil, until I re-read lc's post.
