    Never make the mistake of letting people know you can sharpen knives. Apparently it’s a lost art, you’ll end up with a tray of them in your lap when you’re over for movies, in my experience.

      And I love doing it so I really don’t mind, unless it’s those garbage Walmart things that are all serrated because they aren’t knives but meat saws. I just tell em to throw them in the trash.

      My go-to knife brand is sanelli. Nothing beats em imo

        I’ve just kinda stuck with Henkels over the years for butchering and boning, and Gerber for hunting/gutting. I have a Global kitchen knife but frankly I find I use some cheapshit ceramics quite a lot, I’m very surprised how long they’ve lasted. I have heard of people sharpening them with carbide, but I’ve never bothered.

        And yes, serrated knives are at best for bread, so they never need sharpening. Anyone using those for cooking needs their head examined.
