I was at home yesterday with my kids who have been sick all week. And as they are being medicated and quite tired, I had a lot of free time on my hands while they were napping. I decided to take my kitchen knives to the hones, as I have been meaning to sharpen them for the last month or so. It all stared when I decided to lap my hones. I wanted to leave them perfect for my next razor so before hand I went at the kitchen knives.

Well, I stared with my paring knives and then moved on to the chefs knives. I ussually am a little reserved when sharpening them as my wife has warned me on several occasions that the 'her' knife is too sharp and it is scarry and not to do it again (we have his and hers chefs knives as I like mine very keen). But I threw caution to the wind and went at all of them on all of my hones.

I started at 400 and moved to 800 and that is ussually where I stop. Well I went from there to my Chosera 3000 and then to the 5000 and from there to my Maruichi natural. I tried to shave a few hairs off of my arm and poof they were gone. It wasn't as sharp as a razor is, as my angle somewhat varies while sharpening a knife. Nonetheless it was sharper than it has ever been. I went through this progression all of my kitchen knives ever my wife's .

I warned her when she got home from work of what I had done and she just said 'ok'. We will see if that sentiment contines.

In the end all of the knives could shave, and all of the hones are as flat as they'll get. A successful honing story!

Now back to razors.
