===The best way to sharpen kitchen knives===
I have owned numerous varieties of knife sharpeners from electric attachments on can openers, to a butchers steel and I have to say, have been totally disappointed with them all. Until now. Recently I purchased an oilstone, (£3.00 from B&Q). All of my knives are like razors now. Terrifyingly sharp. I use a tiny drop of [[olive oil]] on the oil stone, five strokes on each side with the knife blade held at 20° to the stone and that's all that's required. Wonderful!

Even better is my latest addition, a 'Buck diamond sharpening station'. It's about 30 times the price of an oil-stone, and about 20 times better! [http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=buck+diamond+sharpening&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a Google for 'buck diamond sharpening']. You'll find them in hunting/fishing outlets rather than cook-ware stores.

* [[AnySharp knife sharpener]] - Certainly the best I've ever used but it broke after a few months use. See how I managed to mount it permanently so I can still be used.
