Default Sharp knives

What is the situation at your house on sharp knives?

I know we recently have an unnamed poster who has a bandaged hand from a
slicing accident.

I can sharpen knives so I can shave with them, yet have limited my wife to
TWO knives she may use. She's just too dangerous. One is a Sandoku and the
other a Jenny Chin cleaver style Asian knife. Both very sharp.

I, on the other hand don't really know how many I have, as I buy them at
yard sales when I see R. H. Forschner and Dexter-Russell for sale for a buck
or two. Now, I just buy them if it's an unusual knife I don't have. I
have about four sets of vintage antler handled utensils, knife, steel, and
meat fork with fold up little thing to keep it from getting gravy on the
tablecloth like they used to come. Got a couple in the box. Makes a nice
presentation when doing holidays.

I have a big EzeLap diamond stone, a fine Arkansas whetstone, and a couple
of vintage knife steels, and keep all my knives keen.

I am fussy about my knives, and before I hand one to someone, I will quiz
them, and then either give them a good knife or a serrated Ginsu.

How about you?

Steve
