I disagree about sharpening since, in family situations, it is virtually impossible to control knife usage. There is an excellent system for putting a PERFECT edge on just about any knife. It is called "Razor Edge" and is made by an outfit in Ely, MN. Originally designed for hunting knives, I have used it for years and it produces the most beautiful edges imaginable. Basically, the system consists of a course and fine Arkansas stone set plus a blade holder which controls the precise sharpening angle. The instructions are excellent. If anyone is interested, I can look up the information at home and post it to the net. Michael Pilla
