My dad used to sharpen the carving knife on the kitchen step too.

I have a gadget that fixes to the work top by suction and then you draw knives or scissors through it to sharpen. It does work better on the non serrated knives though.

We have an electric knife sharpener, it works very well. I remember my Dad sharpening the carving knife on the back doorstep.

How do you keep your kitchen knives sharp?
I have tried and tried with a steel with no success, even after a 'tutorial' by our local butcher. I've bought various gadgets with wheels and carborundum stones - but no - nothing works for me.
Husband can get a real edge using the steel, but he's not around all the time and anyway, I'd like to be able to learn this skill myself. I was just trying to slice tomatoes for lunch and believe me my knife just squashed the things flat.
Help!
