Hahaha! When my knives won't shave anymore I do sharpen them again. But I'm a bit more of a knife-nerd than most.
I'm amused that a member since 2005 is shocked that many of us who hang our hats here, often don't care how sharp our are knives are at any given moment.
I agree completely about keeping knives sharp. A dull knife is far more dangerous than a sharp one because it requires more force to use and can also easily slip off of whatever you are cutting.It just surprises me that anyone who spends time on this forum and in the kitchen wouldn't recognize the advantages of keeping one's knives sharp.
In my case, I sharpen as needed...I live with an Ogre, who doers not care about keeping knives nice, I'm forever finding them in the sink with water soaking the wood handles, tip down in the metal dish drainer, instead of the knife block. I cringe when he uses my Henckels. The ceramic knives are all notched...I won't have pristine knives until I am in my widowhood.
I have trained DH, he is not allowed to use the knives, or otherwise touch or wash them, he is only to sharpen them. I allow him to use the steel on occasion. Maybe Shek needs a Chef's Choice sharpener?
I highly recommend Chicago Cutlery and Farberware kinves
