terryd 8,531 Posted September 7, 2022 Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 As far as knife sharpeners go this is the best I have used.

Fukk! Well, many thanks to Greg, for pointing these out. I finally got my hands on one, Today. And, yes, I'm now wearing a fukking plaster!!! I showed my mate, a life long butcher? He was incredibly taken with it! Looking so over the top sort of over designed and over worked ~ it does look rather 'ornamental' / zombieish ~ I expected him to give it them " Hmmph ... " As it was, he examined it closely. Slashed a chunk of beef steak wide open, with a single slice. Nodded approvingly and said; " Yep. This'd do for me! " Literally straight out of the fukking box! It feels Great, in the hand. It's very much a 'full sized' knife. Seems strong as fukk. And ..... Ta daaaaa!!!!! ... My right hand knuckles stay well above the surface when I cut down with it! I bought a fresh turnip and carrot, today. Tomorrow, I make another stew! This time, pain free! (Unless I fukk up and catch myself with that wicked edge, again!) @socks PM, or the comp! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ken ; ever considered an Eskimo "ulu"? The design is also used for pizza cutters so you could invest in cheap one of them just to see if it feels right. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, mate; That was one of the First things I looked at Dismissed them though, because I saw them as potentially transferring the trouble from my knuckles to my wrist. See what I'm getting at? Perhaps push / pulling that down a caribou's hide would be just the ticket? Even swiping it across seal blubber or fish. But, for, effectively, bashing it down, against and through something as unyielding as a turnip? Dunno. Just see the old wrist jack knifing there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
