Do you sharpen your own knives?

Hair cutting scissors are sharp! BIL's gf cut off the pad of her finger her first day at a new salon because she was nervous.

My mom and I did a knife skills class and got a Wustof paring knife and chefs knife. I love those things so much. I use the honing steel before I use the chef's knife each time, but they still need to be sharpened. We've also got a set of middle of the road Henckels which were never really that sharp to begin with. They could use a good sharpening.

monkeybabe, my step brother was a Cutco guy for a short period of time, so we sat through the spiel but didn't buy anything. My mom and step-dad got the kitchen shears because they come apart very easily to be cleaned. We got a carving set as a wedding gift. It's been used once.

When I started culinary school, the first thing they said was, "Never get Cutco knives." Are they good knives, ladies?

Really?? I think they're awesome! My husband used to sell them so we have like every possible thing they sell.
