<span style=”color: #444444;”>I’m starting to think that this is where I might have been going wrong, because I was using one of those ‘V’ shaped sharpener. Just tried it with one of those flat ones and it does seem to get a much better edge…</span>
I started with one of those things – t’was ok, but quite obvious to me that it could be done better. Youtube showed me how to do it well, it’s not hard to get it nice and sharp. And I’ve found nice and sharp more than makes up for a lack of chopping skills.

Can’t be. Sounds like the kind of received wisdom that has people not washing their coffee stovetops pots without thinking about why.
