Hi all
The last years i have been gifting old knives and new knives to members of my family - They have been very pleased with this in general, and i have been happy when visiting and doing cooking, slicing etc at their places.
HOWEVER - One in particular likes to sharpen her knife each time prior to slicing meat and such. the tool - A pull through sharpener, that clearly rips of waaaaay to much material and leaves grates on the knife that turns up in the food. Its simply horrible to watch and hear each time, and the knive doesnt even get sharp really. I tell her to get a better sharpener, but she thinks it perfectly fine and efficient.
So - What is the best simple and fast sharpener i can gift her and others this christmas ? Any experiences? I have no experience, but expect the roller thingys to be better than the pull through ones that just rips off metal chunks.
