Yvonne ordered a knife sharpening tool from Amazon
It looks quite cool
I have already been informed that I will not be allowed to use it incase I cut myself
Oh well never mind
I won't cut myself then, will I?
Has anyone ever cut themselves sharpening a knife before?
I don't know as I have never sharpened a knife before using one of these things

I've never cut myself sharpening a knife but I did almost cut my finger off after I had sharpened the knife

Yes indeed
I thought Yvonne might have been more worried that I did that
Did you need stitches?
Was it sore?

Lenny bought a knife sharpening tool once but we never even opened it. It’s still in the box in the kitchen.

@Ineeddentures I bought a Breville sous chef at my mom’s insistence years ago and used it but rarely. Now it’s just sitting in the huge box in my pantry.

Ah
We have a few things like that in the house that had never been opened.
A bread maker of all things falls into that category
It's actually in my garden shed now

@lovebuglena
Why do you not sell it Lena?
Are you ever likely to use it?
We have a sandwich toaster we never use,
And an egg cooker
Why we ever got these things I don't know

@Ineeddentures - It's very similar, easier to use than the professional sharpener that it's in the bottom of a drawer.

I don't suppose this one will get used often Anna
I think Yvonne just wanted to order something on Amazon

Not sharpening a knife but cutting my finger after the knife was sharpened.

@Ineeddentures It didn't need stitches or anything; so it was OK.

Oh dear.
Mind you
Better that than cutting the finger with a blunt knife

I have never sharpened a knife. The two knives we have are in our kitchen. When we need to sharpen them, we give them to a man who does the job for us.
I've never seen the tool you have mentioned here.

Is that an electric one? Either way it looks like something my grandfather had. I never used it though.
We grew up sharpening them the old fashioned way lol...I'll try to share a photo of the tool.
edit: ahh it didn't work

@Ineeddentures Sounds pretty easy. But I think they do have electric ones that look very similar

I asked Yvonne if she could have bought an electric one and she said she wasn't sure but I think she could have got one electric if she wanted

No Courtney it is not electric
I think you hold it with one hand and slide the knife into the slots and slide it in and out

I haven't ever sharpened a knife, but my can opener has slots on the back for that. I have slot of knives, if INE is dull I just grab another.

I did mention to Yvonne it would sharpen knives better than the contraption she bought

My knife skills are not very good
And I have to take my time slicing vegetables
Bit I am ultra careful so I know not why Yvonne gets worried about me cutting myself
