update: knives

[sistawendy]

Remember my issue with dull knives? My whetstone, really a fancy gizmo with industrial diamond abrasive, arrived at noon. I tried it out immediately. It appears to work like gang busters! It needs no oil, no water, and not much effort.

I later found out one of my co-workers has a similar device. Two, actually: one upstairs and one downstairs. Sharpening knives is what he does to kill time, he says. He's... a non-standard individual.

So, folks, if you're in Seattle and you need something sharpened, especially something stainless steel, hit me up. I'm sure we can do it in a way that won't transmit germs.

My late FIL was non-standard about sharpening knives, too. He bought an industrial sized bench grinder with two wheels suitable for knives. This giant fucker sat on his kitchen counter. Now, he did have a gigantic kitchen, but still.

Nice! In spite of being occasionally handy with various tools over the years, for some reason I never got the knack of blade sharpening. Too much, too little, wrong angle, etc.

I would have suggested a farmer's market or a butcher shop. BUT A FANCY Whetstone!!!
