Which Knife Sharpeners Make the Cut? – WSJ.COM
I usually take my cutlery to the local gourmet shop twice a year but I’m tied to the once-a-month schedule that the mobile sharpening service has.
Never really thought about sending my steel to someone via UPS but it definitely would make it easier to schedule! Having a sharp knife not only makes the job easier it actually has been found to make it SAFER since you have more control and use less force.
Do yourself a favor & keep your knives as sharp as you can and make sure to use a honing steel before each use!
