Return of the Knives
I picked up my knives this afternoon, brought them home, and was immediately compelled to try them out. All I can say is WOW! They’re sharp!
I had some bell-peppers in the fridge, so I pulled one out and tried to chop it. Both my Santoku and my cleaver were so sharp that they basically slid through the bell pepper by their own weight. I barely had to press down at all. It’s amazing!
That was totally worth the $15 I spent today. From now on, I’m having my knives professionally sharpened at least every 6 months.
Oh yeah, when I asked Eden (sp?) the manager the best way to keep my knives sharp now, he said that I needed to use a honing steel. Not having one of my own, I bought one from him. Excellent, now my knives will stay sharp between semi-annual sharpenings…
