Something I found funny on the knife forum:
Kind of reminds me of the movie "Gangs of New York"

By the title I thought maybe you were going into the kitchen knife business
My thought as I was watching the pic load was it reminded me of a Mafia hit.
I do like nice kitchen knives. I get the best I can afford. They have a lifetime warrenty and factory will put a new edge on for free. I'm sure you know there is nothing like a good knife!

Michelle,
Good kitchen knives are a beautiful thing. They are not my thing as far as making them though! I agree with buying good ones but even the best ones need to be sharpened often for best results. With just a little practice you can easily do it yourself and avoid the hassle of shipping them to be sharpened.
ryknier,
I will post info in that regard tomorrow. I believe the knife forum guys have found a source. I have no idea of the actual quality of the knives though.

The ones you usually send back are serrated, they have some kind of special serration on the edge, but I think they will take the others too.
My dad used to sharpen knives well with a whetstone, he could put a great edge on the cheapest knife. My husband has never gotten the knack of it. I've tried, but don't know what I'm doing.
Being a knife professional...what is your opinion on those gadgets that have some kind of sharpener in them that you draw the blade through? I've used them, but never gotten as good an edge as the real deal, and also wondered if they are good for the blades. the company I got my knives from included one when I bought one of the sets. I've never used it.
This is the only info we could find on the Knives/Rack:

Let me check in with the kitchen knife crowd on our forums and get back to you on the best sharpeners available now. In my kitchen I only have one serrated blade and that's a bread knife. If used on a good platic cutting board it should stay sharp for a long time. Steak knives that are used on ceramic plates will dull the tops of the serrations initially but still cut quite well for a long time. No knife in the world will hold up to ceramic plates!

Michelle,
For what it's worth, I found a 2-stage sharpener at Bed Bath and Beyond for $30. It's a diamond sharpener, first stage sets the angle, and 2nd stage hones. Works great on my Gerber knives and fairly well on the serated edge. I wouldn't use it for a fillet knife though.
Regards,
Jon

Michelle,
For me this is a plug for the competition but here you go:

I do all my sharpening in my shop using much different methods than these hand sharpeners so I'm no expert on them. The one above is by far the favorite one on the market now according to the Kitchen knife guys. It comes with stones that will allow you to sharpen serrations also. One suggestion, don't let your knives get really dull, sharpen them often and the edge will be much easier to maintain. Lastly...........be CAREFUL!!!!

Interesting holder--too bad I already have enough things that will have to be hidden when I go to sell my house.
I have Cutco knives--a friend works at the factory, so got a good discount on them. I've opened up one knuckle (drying the paring knife) so far. It went clear to the bone, and I just winged the blade. Sharp knives are safer than dull ones when used correctly, and won't hurt as much when you do cut yourself, but tend to cause deeper wounds. I sharpen my own--Daddy would roll over in his grave if I sent mine off!
