Excellent post! I have one of those electric sharpeners that are fairly highly rated, and they certainly work OK. But nothing like getting your knives professionally sharpened. It’s not easy finding people to do that these days (I’m lucky, I have a source that’s quite good). Fun post – thanks.

Cool store and it’s on Peninsula. I think you featured this place in SF before, right? I should check out this store. It sounds fun to check out all kinds of knives and I’m looking for some Japanese knife too. Thanks for this info!

I have a fear for knives, I always leave about half an inch between my fingers and the blade when I cut things, like onions. My mom said that even the dullest of knife has no problem cutting a finger (and it’s true for me ), so I wonder if I could ever buy a Japanese knife, I’d be too afraid of it.

A good knife makes such a difference! And I never really considered that a serrated knife took longer as each tooth has to be individually sharpened but of course that makes total sense!

Mike’s great – he sold me some Japanese stones and taught me how to sharpen my own knives – very convenient and therapeutic!
