Now That's a Knife!

 Isolation pushes you in odd directions.  I decided to sharpen the kitchen knives.  Previous attempts had been reasonable but not excellent so a little research was required.  The result was not only a set of much sharper kitchen knives but the purchase of a Japanese knife to replace our most used and worn knife.

I have never handled a knife quite like this one.  The blade is formed from steel that has been rolled and folded then hammered and shaped.  The result is a very hard steel that holds its edge.  It is unbelievably sharp.  Now I have to ensure I have the equipment to maintain that edge.
