Never make the mistake of letting people know you can sharpen knives. Apparently it’s a lost art, you’ll end up with a tray of them in your lap when you’re over for movies, in my experience.

So what you’re saying is you can sharpen my knives.

And I love doing it so I really don’t mind, unless it’s those garbage Walmart things that are all serrated because they aren’t knives but meat saws. I just tell em to throw them in the trash.

My go-to knife brand is sanelli. Nothing beats em imo

I’ve just kinda stuck with Henkels over the years for butchering and boning, and Gerber for hunting/gutting. I have a Global kitchen knife but frankly I find I use some cheapshit ceramics quite a lot, I’m very surprised how long they’ve lasted. I have heard of people sharpening them with carbide, but I’ve never bothered.

And yes, serrated knives are at best for bread, so they never need sharpening. Anyone using those for cooking needs their head examined.

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.
