Just a curiosity. I suspect that those who appreciate artisan skills and take care of their knives are a self-selecting group of people who already bring similar skills from elsewhere. But I was thinking about how I was chopping some of the rounds from the 200 year old tree that the electric company took down and how my splitting axe was sharpened just right because I have the tools and skills to do this. I am now painting the trim on my house and my scrapers have killer burrs on them that work really well: because I can reshape and create the burrs better than correctly.
So just wondering if the skills you have learned sharpening knives, making handles, practicing chopping and slicing with good form, etc. have translated to other areas of your life. I have found that even the discipline to hold correct angles and improve the skill of sharpening have bled over into an attitude of getting things right and doing things right.
