Re: How not to sharpen a knife

All of my knives stay sharp. There is a table in my shop with various stones, steels, etc. on it. About 25 years ago I was unloading a new washer and dryer out of my pickup in my garage that were still in the shipping boxes. A neighbor had dropped by to help unload. I was cutting the thick cardboard boxes with my leatherman when the phone rang in the house. I set my leatherman on the box and went inside to answer the phone. When I came back out my neighbor was holding one hand over the other and there was blood on the floor.

"What did you do?", I asked.
He hollered back, "I didn't expect a utility knife to be sharp!"

He had almost cut his left thumb off. Cut went clean to the bone.
