I have the fancy Chef's sharpener and a name brand steel, but what I use more is my old fashioned whet stone that I bought at the dollar store or (more likely) in Chinatown. I've started keeping it out on the window ledge, so it's always in sight. That way, I remember to give my knife a swipe or two before I slice something sensitive, like a tomato. As far as food chopper blades, treat them like your good knives - do *not* put them through the dishwasher and they will stay sharp for years; provided you don't try to chop bone, wood or stones with it. -- Food is an important part of a balanced diet. |
