Wow. You guys are serious. And educational. I thank you.

I absolutely believe that the stone, belt-sander and Mike's Wheelie System prove outstanding, state-of-the-art edges.

We have Forschner and Henckels knives. I've been using the Chef's Choice electric sharpener for years.

Here's why: I actually USE it. A couple times a week, at least. Doing so takes no setup, no trip to the garage, and no skill.

If I tried to switch to one of those other, better systems, I would simply find them too much trouble, and would sharpen the knives less frequently.

So, this is an instance where I have decided to forsake "the perfect" for "the good".

I can't believe that I'm the guy who ISN'T taking some process to its extreme. Occasionally, you guys make my level of tense look good to my wife. Thanks for that.
