…does that make me ineligible for this channel?

A while ago, I bought a purpose built knife sharpener appliance, on impulse, immediately, after seeing an ad. The sort of response that advertisers dream of. Have not regretted it. Dull knives are annoying to work with.

Which sharpener did you use and do you recommend it?

I’ve got the work sharp field sharpener and I adore it. I use the ceramic rod and strop to keep my chef’s knife sharp. Pull the thing out before I start making dinner and three minutes later it’s like I’m using a brand new knife. I used to have the Wirecutter pick (a big electric thing) and this is just so much better in every way. Cheaper, smaller, faster, better results.

Work Sharp something or other, and, yes. We have a fancy set of knives, it’s a shame to let them go bad. I try to avoid looking like a product placement, but since you asked…

My wife bought me a work sharp something… it uses belts instead of wheels and is amazing for my pocket knives (most knives really)!

I use a more traditional wheel type one for the kitchen knives because I heard the more beveled edge from the belt one wouldn’t hone as well (and I’m too lazy to constantly sharpen).

I was looking into that one. I currently have a work sharp kit that uses stones on an arm. I don’t like that it ends up sharpening in an arc causing the sharpening angle to change across the length of the blade.

I need to so bad, but I can’t find my sharpening stone. Which means it’s time to clean the garage.

Did it work? How were the results? I’ve seen knife sharperners on sale for the holidays.

It works better than doing it manually, for me at least, and requires not much skill or patience, which means I will do it often enough.

Dull Men's Club

Create post

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men’s Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of “discuss” rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine or advice forum.
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. Not hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with “So” - starting a post with pointless phrases, like “I hope this is allowed” or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

8. All polls must have an “Africa, by Toto” option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.
