A very cool Christmas Gift

GrillMeister

<p />Mrs. GrillMeister gave me a knife sharpener for Christmas and this thing is very slick! It comes with a video that's very informative about keeping blades (even serrated) sharp and how to do it.[p]While the turkey is cooking, I'll be sharpening every blade in the house including the scissors.[p]This is a must have gadget for eggers who cut meat!

Spring Chicken,[p]I was speaking with LR the other day and asked him when the fest was.[p]He couldn't remember the date. Must have something on his mind these days. [p]My wife and I are coming this year. She is a nurse and works all kinds of funky dates, like today for example.[p]Do we have the date set?[p]Mick

Spring Chicken,[p]We can't wait either. It'll be interesting to see the "Slim Chicken" without glasses.

I have to say, this thing is just too cool. I sharpened my electric knife blades with this and a bunch of other knives. Carving the Christmas Turkey was unbelievable with a very sharp knife. I can't wait to try my electric on a brisket this weekend.[p]

UnConundrum

GrillMeister,[p]Spyderco makes some great products. I have one screwed onto my worktable for ready access... just in case I need a shave

GrillMeister

UnConundrum,[p]Yep,[p]This kit came with a video that showed how to sharpen knifes, scissors, straight razors, hatchets, tin snips, nail clippers, router bits, awls, fishing hooks, potato peelers, etc.[p]My mother-in-law could not believe how sharp I made one of my carving knives in just a few minutes.
