Sharpening

yngmar, 2 months ago

At @vaviurka's request, I got a nice new diamond dust sprinkled sharpening block from China and now we have five sharp knives in the kitchen (and three that were beyond rescuing).

It seems the key difference between an expensive block and a cheap block is that it doesn't come with the, uh, blocky part. So I made one real quick (ideal router job) and now it's a breeze to use instead of sliding all over the place.

Same block, now with a recess routered out and the sharpening stone snugly sitting in there, going nowhere. The block is still clamped in the woodworking bench vise, which is nice for using it too.
An assortment of kitchen knives, old and new, now very sharp.
