I enjoy putting a new edge on a knife. I also enjoyed, back in the olden days, being able to take all my kitchen knives to the local butcher and have him do it. Everyone did. Once a year, we’d drop ‘em off and pick ‘em up later, sharp and oiled…fine-tuned so to speak. It’s really not laziness; it’s good for the community.

Not any more…not since the insurance companies got involved.

I guess if you cut yourself with a knife that someone else sharpened, you can sue him or her. How whacked out is that?
