I sharpened my knives today!This chef's knife now cuts through a watermelon
like it was warm butter. Oh my!
Now I'm a little scared of it!
In all seriousness, it was a long overdue chore
and so nice to have done. And I still
have all of my fingers! :)
LOL...you are too funny!!! But I AM GLAD that you still have all your fingers...Just especially want to tell you that your new header photo is absolutely amazing!!! Simply stunning!!! Hope your week is going well...Love, Janine XO
ReplyDeleteglad you kept your fingers...they cut so nice once they are sharp dont they...nice.
ReplyDeleteYou just don't realize how dull they are until you try a really sharp one!
ReplyDeleteWay to go..that has got to be fun...good knives again! :D
ReplyDeleteTwilight zone...I sharpened all my knives this week, too!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteExperience superior sharpness and edge retention, especially over time, as the CeramiChef blade will stay sharp ten times longer than a steel blade. The hardness of the blade means it will not bend, it will therefore cut exactly where you guide it - slicing in straight lines has never been easier.

So glad to hear all of your fingers are still intact! It wouldn't have been such a pretty picture otherwise (ha)!!
ReplyDeleteI never remember to sharpen our knives, thanks for the reminder!
The sharper they are, the less it hurts when you cut yourself. Just saying. Not that I'm speaking from experience or anything.
ReplyDeleteI was forever forgetting to sharpen my knives, so a couple of years ago I gave up and decided to get them professionally sharpened once a year or so. The place I use is cheap and in a neighborhood that's worth a field trip.
ReplyDeleteI usually end up cutting myself with the newly-sharpened blade, but this year all I did was cut off part of a fingernail. Yeah for me!
Matty ~ it may not hurt, but they cut deeper! ha.
ReplyDeleteI am forever knicking myself when I chop...if I had sharp knives, I probably wouldn't have any fingers left ;)
ReplyDeleteEvery time we sharpen the knives, I forget and cut myself. But they work so much better when they're sharp. Enjoyed reading about your shopping adventures. Looking forward to reading more as the summer progresses!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear you're still safe and sound. I always cut myself after sharpening my knives. Love the photo.
ReplyDeleteYummy! Watermelon. I've been snacking on watermelon all week. So sweet and delicious.
ReplyDeleteMy knives still cut pretty good. I remember when I first got them...I nearly lost a couple of fingertips.
Come to think of it, it's safer to cut food with a SHARP knife than and DULL one...
ReplyDeleteYummy picture!
We have one Cutco knife that I am afraid of...it has the ability to leap off the counter and attack bare toes. It did not come with a warning label from the manufacturer. Glad you have all your fingers AND toes!
ReplyDeletei have that exact same knife!! mine all need to be sharpened but hubby likes to do it. thank goodness! i tend to be a little accident prone!
ReplyDeleteAnita ~ I have a set of Cutco! It's lasted forever!
ReplyDeleteHere's to keeping your fingers!
ReplyDelete(I have heard a dull knife is actually more dangerous, but I'm not sure I believe that.)
The watermelon looks yummy!
I just got new knives and I am nervous about the same thing! I am much more confident with the dull ones:-) I am very glad you still have all your fingers. It gives me hope!
ReplyDeleteHeather ~ I'm liking them sharp now! I just have to be careful and pay attention to what I'm doing. But they are a pleasure to use when they are sharp like this!
ReplyDeleteI love to work with a GOOD, SHARP knife!!! Watch out for those fingers!
ReplyDeleteWay to go!
ReplyDeleteYou have done something I only wished I could do.
Oh, I couldn't be trusted with a knife as sharp as that !
ReplyDeleteI can only handle dull knives, and use lots of pressure, on the other hand ( pun intended) husband insists on sharp knives, and that's why I've got all my fingers:)
Brit in TN ~ Oh Jo, you are funny! I'd much rather have sharp knives. How do you slice a tomato without loosing all the juice? LOL!
ReplyDeleteIt always amazes me how sharp my knives CAN be after I sharpen them. I don't know why they have to get totally dull before I think to get out the sharpener! They ARE a little scary when they are freshly sharpened! LOL! In a good way.
ReplyDeleteI saw someone the other day who had only half a foot, nothing from the arch to his toes. he had cut them off by mistake. Horrible. Glad you didn't cut off any digits.
