"vegetable slicer" news and stories

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.
