Sharp knives are incredible. My sister in law once asked me "did you sharpen these knives recently?!". It was the greatest compliment I've ever received.

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Excellent dad joke
What we have here, gentlemen, is your classic catch-22
Idk. His sharp wit is what really might disqualify him
I need to so bad, but I can't find my sharpening stone. Which means it's time to clean the garage.
Did it work? How were the results? I've seen knife sharperners on sale for the holidays.
It works better than doing it manually, for me at least, and requires not much skill or patience, which means I will do it often enough.
It appears that your wit is sharp!
Which sharpener did you use and do you recommend it?
Work Sharp something or other, and, yes. We have a fancy set of knives, it's a shame to let them go bad. I try to avoid looking like a product placement, but since you asked...
My wife bought me a work sharp something... it uses belts instead of wheels and is amazing for my pocket knives (most knives really)!
I use a more traditional wheel type one for the kitchen knives because I heard the more beveled edge from the belt one wouldn't hone as well (and I'm too lazy to constantly sharpen).
I was looking into that one. I currently have a work sharp kit that uses stones on an arm. I don't like that it ends up sharpening in an arc causing the sharpening angle to change across the length of the blade.
I've got the work sharp field sharpener and I adore it. I use the ceramic rod and strop to keep my chef's knife sharp. Pull the thing out before I start making dinner and three minutes later it's like I'm using a brand new knife. I used to have the Wirecutter pick (a big electric thing) and this is just so much better in every way. Cheaper, smaller, faster, better results.
Same here mate.
