Knives

We have an electric sharpener which my DH will run the favourite knives through once in a while. Works well. I never did get the knack with the steel.

I remember when young our cats would come running when they heard Dad start running a knife over the steel on a Sunday. They knew something good would be cut, and they may get a sliver!

Thanks, there's a lot to digest here. I've decided to get one from Amazon that you pull the knife through. I've watched Utube tutorials but just don't seem able to put what I see into practise.
I'll let you know what I think of my new sharpener when it comes.

Missfoodlove, I have serious knife envy. That is A Thing of Beauty!

I don't know what kind of knife you use. If you use a Japanese knife, you should read the article on <a href="https://toolsofchef.com/best-japanese-knife-sharpener/">sharpners for Japanese knives </a>. There are many ways to do it. very informative and helpful article.
