Yes, I know GIMF*, but sometimes it's far more responsive to ask a
question here than to let my fingers do the searching.

Anywho, my question about sharpening knives regards one of those
circular sharpeners (is there a formal name for this 'thing'?)
frequently found with sets of knives that include wooden storage
blocks. Which way to I draw the knife along that circular sharpener.
Do I pull the knife blade backwards up along the sharpener, or do I push
it blade first downwards? Either way alternately? Not sure how to
describe what I mean, and I hope I make sense. TIA.
