For your kitchen knives, if you keep them properly honed, then the need to sharpen them should be many many years away. The set I have used for the better half of 7 years are still razor sharp, by alternating between a steel hone and a ceramic one with about a 20:1 ratio between the two.steve817 wrote:Wow!
