I wouldn’t know how to cook without my knives. I make a
point of bringing a small multipurpose knife along when I travel. I like to
stay in hotel suites with kitchenettes, and the knives I find there are never
up to snuff. A dull knife is actually much more dangerous than a sharp one,
because you have to “fight” when working with a dull blade. A well-sharpened
knife should cut without effort. If your knives haven’t been sharpened in at
least a year, it may be time to gather them up and take them to be
professionally sharpened. If there are any knives in your collection that aren’t
worth sharpening, ask yourself if they’re even worth having around. Do you
store your knives in a knife block or a cutlery rack? If they’re rolling around
in a drawer, consider sticking their points in corks. It will protect the tips
and keep blades from hitting each other.
