Because of my post yesterday about my new knives, I got pointed (thanks André) in the direction of Grocery Guy's blog and his video on the best way to sharpen a knife at home. He offers some fantastic advice and makes the process of sharpening your steel easy to understand. Sharpening your knives at home is initially a bit of a time commitment, but is worth the effort because having good tools makes your time in the kitchen better spent. Oh, and the story of his quest to acquire the Jesus knife is worth the read. It makes me regret not buying myself a vegetable slicer or two when I was in Hong Kong six years ago.

Chubby Hubby helps you sharpen your knives
I am of the opinion that the single most valuable tool in the kitchen is the knife.
While it's important to know how to use a knife, it's just as important to know how to maintain it, since we all know that some of the worst knife-related accidents come from knives that are dull. Foodblogger Chubby Hubby spent an afternoon with his wife in a knife-sharpening "class," and shares his lessons by breaking down the Art of Knife Sharpening into four points, along with some cute drawings (which I believe are his own). Good knife maintenance comes down to: Angle, Abrasiveness, Technique and Control. The details are on his post.
